The award recipients with Nana Kwanin Kwanfo II
Education-driven traditional ruler, Appianyinasehene of Juaben Traditional Area, Ashanti Region, Nana Kwanin Kwanfo II, has rewarded two students who excelled in the last BECE.
The duo, Rebecca Boatemaa and Elizabeth Arthur attained aggregate 9 each in this year’s BECE within the Juaben Municipality.
The Appianyinase Foundation has presented a financial reward of GHS1,500 each to the beneficiary students, exercise books, pens, math sets and citations for their brilliant performances.
The Appianyinasehene stated that the gesture was to congratulate and urge them on to strive for excellence in their academic pursuit.
“This is just a token, but I believe it’s also symbolic, as intelligent as they are, they will realise that if they push harder they will receive a bigger reward.
“The foundation thought it prudent to support them with cash and educational materials. We also urge those preparing for future BECE in the area to push for single digits,” he said.
Elizabeth from Nobewam MA JHS and Rebecca from Duampopo MA JHS, in separate interviews expressed gratitude to the Appianyinase Foundation for the gesture and promised to strive harder on the academic calendar.
The Appianyinase Foundation has consistently, for close to a decade supported education in the Juaben Traditional Area.
It is in support of the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Education Foundation programme.
