Others are sponsorship for the B.E.C.E, prospectus sponsorship for B.E.C.E candidates who score aggregate 6-10, spelling and quiz competitions, support for library projects, providing access to past questions and examiners' reports as well as support for speech and prize giving day.

In his remarks, the DCE, Hon. Samuel Kwame Agyekum praised Paul Ansah for his strong commitment to the upliftment of the standard of education in the district. He emphasised that "if he had five people like Paul Ansah doing what he is doing in the district, the development would have gone very far".
