The Majority Chief Whip, also Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyiri Constituency in the Eastern Region, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has rewarded 250 students from 28 basic schools in the area for excelling in the 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The MP’s ‘Best Performing BECE Award’ which was instituted in 2013, was in collaboration with the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly and the Municipal Education Directorate to improve BECE results in the constituency.
In this year’s award ceremony, the students, from both public and private basic schools, were presented with scientific calculators, mattresses, and an average of three novels.
The Majority Chief Whip, speaking at the ceremony, said when he became the MP for the area, he realised that the BECE results in the basic schools were not the best, hence the need to organise vacation classes for the pupils, stressing that such an undertaking had yielded good results, with the children coming out with excellence in most of the subjects.
Annoh Dompreh said, “We’ve done enough in the education sector in this constituency, thankfully, we are beginning to record a dramatic academic success in this municipality. We must thank education workers particularly, the director and teachers in the municipality for the great job done.”
He used the opportunity to commend the teachers and students of Nsawam-Adoagyiri for making the feat possible.
He added, “In the next ten years, people from far and near will troop to Nsawam to inquire about the success story in education. We don’t have any secret but we are determined and ready to leave a good legacy, a generation yet unborn will come and write this history.”
The Nsawam Municipal Education Director, Samuel Ntow Otopah also expressed gratitude to the Member of Parliament for contributing significantly towards the success of education in the area.
