In an era where the
standard of Basic and Senior High school education in the Volta region continue
to take a nose dive coupled with poor and inadequate classroom infrastructure,
an educational charity organisation, Pencils of Promise (PoP) have officially entered
into a Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with the Volta Regional Directorate of Education
to help stem the situation.
The MoU, pave the
way for PoP to complement government’s effort in providing classroom blocks and
other teaching and learning materials for schools in deprived communities for
the next five years. The charity organisation which started operations in 2012 has
already built classrooms for 53 schools in 15 districts of the Volta region
within the last two years.
Mr. Freeman Goba,
Country Director of the organisation said Pencils of Promise is committed to providing
500 school blocks in Ghana by the end of 2015. This, he said is in fulfilment
of the Organisation’s mission of bringing smiles on the faces of the less privileged,
through the provision of shelter and logistics to deprived community schools.
