From Tim Dzamboe, Peki-Agbateh
THE promise to provide free school uniforms to pupils of basic education schools was fulfilled in the South Dayi District of the Volta Region when more than 200 pupils in three deprived schools were given their share last Wednesday.
The schools were the Peki –Agbateh Local Authority (LA) primary school, Sanga primary school and the Kpeyibome Primary School.
The Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Colonel Cyril Necku (rtd), led a team from the South-Dayi District Assembly and the district office of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to distribute the uniforms at the various schools.
Addressing the pupils, Col. Necku said they should be grateful to the President for keeping faith with the people adding that it was the turn of the pupils to utilise the gesture to enable them get to the highest level of the educational ladder.
The South- Dayi District Chief Executive, Mr Kafui Bekui said the supply of school uniforms was in line with the tenets of investing in people through relevant support to increase the human resource capacity for development.
He, therefore, advised the pupils to adopt good morals to be part of their schooling career and that parents should not renege on their responsibilities towards child care because of government interventions.
The District Director of GES, Mrs Veronica Adzato-Ntem, said pupils with regular attendance to school were likely to enjoy the facility.
She appealed to the district assembly to help to renovate the school which was constructed in 1973 and had not seen any renovation since then.
For his part the District Co-ordinating Director, Mr David Kanyi, urged the pupils to be motivated with the supply of the uniforms to study hard and that they should not misuse them.
