Mr. Ralph Opoku Adusei, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bekwai, has pledged to ensure every child in the constituency benefits from the Free SHS programme.
He made the pledge at a ceremony where he presented school items to 100 prospective SHS students in the area.
The donation, which included 100 chop boxes, 100 student mattresses, and 100 trunks, was to support parents who struggle to meet the basic requirements of their wards admitted to SHS institutions.
Mr. Opoku Adusei said the intervention was meant to ease the financial burden on parents while motivating students to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the Free SHS policy.
Mrs. Leticia Obeng, Bekwai Municipal Director of Education, commended the MP for the support and urged parents to work closely with teachers to enhance quality education delivery.
Beneficiary parents and students expressed gratitude for the gesture, noting that it would inspire the students to study hard and excel in school.
