The Millennium Class of 2000 of the Ghana School of Law has donated learning materials to the Independence Avenue Cluster of Schools, Accra, urging the school to ensure digital safety and prioritise academic excellence.
The education materials, including English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies textbooks, which the school lacked, benefited all 240 pupils across two streams from Junior High School one – three.
The gesture formed part of the Alumni’s 25th Anniversary of being called to the Bar and a means to give back to society.
It was also to inspire the young ones to take their studies seriously to pass their examinations and become better people in society.
Mr Isaac Acheampong, Chairman of the Millennium Class, said the initiative stemmed from the alumni’s connection to the Independence Avenue Cluster of Schools, which shared a wall with the Ghana School of Law.
“When we were at the law school, we could observe the students from their canteen and the poor condition at the time. So, as part of our anniversary activities, we planned to renovate the school block but found it had already been refurbished. Upon discussions with the school authorities, we identified lack of textbooks as a critical challenge,” he explained.
“Most pupils, due to their background, cannot afford to buy textbooks, and the school itself lacks the necessary resources. The donation is aimed at bridging this gap and providing the pupils with the necessary tools to excel in their studies,” he added.

Mr Acheampong pledged the alumni’s continued support to the school, indicating their readiness to develop their volleyball pitch into a modern one should at least 10 students achieve seven or more A’s in their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Mr Kofi Boakye, member of the Millennium Class, urged students to remain focused and heed instructions from teachers, parents and other adults to grow into responsible citizens.
“Do not belittle yourself – school builds you up for the future. Your focus should be where you want to reach. Be diligent and punctual and let your books be your best friends,” he said.
The lawyer encouraged young girls to desist from sexual relationships during their formative years and in school, to avoid teenage pregnancy and dropping out of school.
On digital safety, Mrs Afua Brown-Eyeson, a lawyer, touched on the importance of the internet and Artificial Intelligence in the current academic dispensation but cautioned the pupils to be careful of accepting friend requests online.
“Don’t be deceived by people who look and relate to you nicely. If you don’t know them, don’t accept their friend requests, and don’t believe everything people say to you – otherwise, you expose yourself to bad company, including terrorists,” she said.
Mrs Brown-Eyeson advised students to leave good digital footprints and avoid cyberbullying, warning them against spending long hours on social media to prevent addiction and lessening their time for studies.
“Limit the use of AI and do critical thinking to improve your learning capabilities,” she noted.
The pupils expressed appreciation for the gesture and pledged to utilise the books to improve their performance in their final year examinations, noting that they have been motivated by the visit of the Millennium Class.
