NGO visits Gbawe Circuit schools

Ghana Schools Project, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has visited its beneficiary schools in the Gbawe Circuit of the Ga South Municipality to assess their challenges and help them to provide good quality education to pupils.

The visit took the NGO to the New Gbawe Cluster of Schools, where Mr. Anthony Kwaku Amoah, the NGO's Public Relations Officer (PRO), interacted with some head teachers, teachers and pupils.

Mr. Amoah, who is an educationist and counsellor, expressed gratitude to teachers for their good work at enhancing quality education delivery to pupils despite challenges, such as inadequate logistics.

He appealed for strong stakeholder participation in education delivery, and added,
''Teachers cannot do it all alone. We must all get on board to assist the school to give the kind of education we want for our wards. Until teachers also constantly remind stakeholders of your challenges as a school, they may not know for them to come to your aid.''

Headmistress of New Gbawe D/A '1' JHS, Mrs. Mercy Awuah, thanked the NGO for their support over the years.

''We are in serious need of a science laboratory, computer laboratory and a library for the pupils to enjoy their lessons well. We call on all stakeholders to come to our aid.''

The Ghana Schools Project, since its existence for about ten years now, has been instrumental in the provision of good quality education and healthcare in Ghana, including schools in New Gbawe Circuit, which have benefited from sets of computers and accessories, pieces of furniture and movable chalkboards.
