Invest in children’s education – Chief

Nana Obutu Frimpong, Chief of Esaso in the Asamankese Traditional Area of the Eastern Region, has exhorted parents to regard their children’s education as an investment.

Nana Obutu who was interacting with teachers and a cross-section of parents of the basic school at Esaso, noted that such investment should be consistent to yield profit.

According to the Chief, good investment yield returns, hence the need to inculcate in children good manners. They should also make efforts to supplement school training at home.

He urged parents to provide their children with the needed educational materials to help make the investment worthwhile.

Nana Obutu commended the teachers and parents for their support, which contributed to the enhancement in academic performance and discipline at the school.

He stressed that “education brings progress and national development,” and appealed to the West Akim Municipal Assembly to assist the only school in the town with infrastructure.

He also asked the Education Directorate to provide the school with teaching aids.
