He explained that education was a top priority of the assembly and that efforts were being made to address challenges confronting schools in the district especially at the basic level.

Mr. Abukari mentioned that several basic schools in the district have been provided with hundreds of dual desks.

The DCE added that the assembly in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service in the district, had recruited 72 professional teachers to teach at the basic level

Mr. Abukari, therefore, admonished both parents and teachers to play their roles effectively and efficiently to help realise the objective of the assembly.

The DCE added that the assembly was working assiduously to ensure that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's commitment to delivering good governance and improve living conditions of citizens were achieved.
