Students of Mawuli School in Ho, in the Volta Region, have received a significant boost to their academic development with the establishment of a new electronic library aimed at enhancing digital learning and research.

The initiative, spearheaded by an old student, Dr Ben Tutu, Chief Executive Officer of Banadek Herbal Research Centre and Clinic, is expected to transform the school’s traditional library into a modern hub for digital learning resources.

Speaking at the launch, Dr Tutu said the project represents his personal commitment to giving back to the institution that shaped his academic and professional journey.

“Mawuli School laid the foundation for who I am today. Supporting the transformation of the library into an e-library is my way of giving back to the school that invested so much in my future,” he said.

He further encouraged other alumni to support their former schools.

“Old students must remember where they came from. When we support our schools, we are investing in the next generation of leaders and innovators,” Dr Tutu added.

The Headmaster of Mawuli School, Benjamin Yawo Dei, expressed deep appreciation for the initiative, describing the facility as a major step towards improving digital education in the school.

“This e-library is a transformative addition to our academic environment. It will expand students’ access to information and equip them with essential computer and research skills needed in today’s digital world,” Dei stated.

The Brand Ambassador of Banadek Herbal Research Centre and Clinic, Emefa Bridgette Gborglah, emphasised the long-term impact of the project.

“This is not just about computers and internet access; it is about empowering generations of students with knowledge and opportunities that will shape their future,” she noted.

Students also welcomed the development with enthusiasm. The Library Prefect, Maker Apasu, assured school authorities that learners would take good care of the facility.

“The e-library will make research easier for us. We now have better access to information that will help us improve our assignments and academic work,” Apasu said.

The Ghana Education Service Ho Municipal Director of Education, Esther Yeboah-Adzimah, commended the old students for their commitment to education and urged others across the country to emulate their example.

“The spirit of giving demonstrated by the old students of Mawuli School is commendable. I encourage students and alumni across Ghana to support their former schools to improve educational opportunities for young people,” she said.

Students say the new facility will significantly enhance their research capabilities, improve their digital literacy, and better prepare them for the demands of modern education.
