The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has presented a 64-seater bus to the staff and management of the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) College of Education at Amedzofe at a special ceremony in Accra on Tuesday.
The donation was in fulfillment of a promise he made on 30th April 2022 during the celebration of the school’s 75th anniversary.
Making the presentation on behalf of the President, Mr. Yaw Osafo Marfo, Special Presidential Advisor, urged them to adopt good maintenance culture for the bus to last longer.
He said the President was passionate about providing the needed resources to institutions to enhance effective teaching and learning in all schools.
Mr Osafo Marfo lauded the school for its good academic record over the years and urged them to continue working very hard to make more gains for the school and the nation as a whole.
The Deputy Minister for Education, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, said the huge investment being made in the education sector by the Government attested to the interest the President had in the sector.
He stated that the donation was part of the government’s agenda of making a huge investment in the sector that held the key to the transformation of the nation’s economy.
The Deputy Minister stated that early this year, the government presented 150 vehicles comprising 100 pickups and 50 buses to pre-tertiary institutions in the country.
The Principal of E P College of Education, Dr. Dickson Tsey, commended the government for the donation which would go a long way towards effective teaching and learning in the school and the rest of the country.
