The presentation was made on behalf of Mr. Alexander Gyan, Member of Parliament for Kintampo South who through GETFund donated the said furniture to the directorate. Mr. Opoku Nyame during the short presentation noted that the Member of Parliament took that giant step aimed at reducing the number of students who sit on the floor to write in basic schools within the district.

He said the 249 being handed over was the first batch of furniture that had been dispatched to ease the problem of inadequate school furniture syndrome within the district, and the second batch was soon to follow.

He promised that the District Assembly is working hand in hand with the Member of Parliament to procure more school furniture to meet the needs of the district and charged the Director of Education to distribute the furniture on need basis and maintain them to last longer.

The school furniture donated includes: 14 teacher’s tables, 2 head teacher’s tables, 5 book shelves, 42 general chairs for staff, 90 dual desks for lower primary, 90 dual desk for upper primary, 4 library tables, 1 cabinet and a notice board.
