The Kwahu East District Assembly is to commit a greater percentage of its resources to provide educational infrastructure, furniture, exercise books and qualified teachers to improve the standard of education in the area.
The measure is to supplement Government's efforts to educate the nation's children to eradicate the high illiteracy rate, poverty and unemployment in the country.
The District Chief Executive, Mr Samuel Asamoah said this when he presented 50 dual desks worth GH¢ 2,250 to the Anglican Primary School at Abetifi.
He attributed the high unemployment rate and poverty among the people to illiteracy and noted that if people had acquired some kind of formal or informal education they could have used it to create their own employment to generate income to alleviate poverty.
Mr Asamoah said the Assembly would soon purchase more dual desks and teachers' tables and chairs for distribution to basic schools in the District and urged the school authorities to take good care of the items.
Receiving the desks on behalf of the school, the Chief of Abetifi, Nana Asiedu Agyemang III thanked the Assembly for the gesture and appealed for similar assistance to other schools in the District.

It's Not A Question Of Other Learned Societies.
It's The INFERIORITY COMPLEX WE HAVE TO SHED
St. Paul In A Letter To The Christians In Rome Said :
" For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is among
you, NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF MORE HIGHLY Than He Ought To
Think; but to think soberly, according AS GOD HAS D EALT TO EVERY
MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH .
#1- - We All Should Think Highly Of Ourselves, Keeping In Our Mind That
God Gave Us Dominion Of The Earth , NOT EACH OTHER..
#2 - Each Of Us Are Given THE MEASURE OF FAITH..as in THE SAME
EXACT AMOUNT OF FAITH .
#3- With #1 & #2 In Mind, We Black Africans Can Do Anything Any One
Else Does . In Fact , Looking At What Many Black Africans Have Done ;
Especially In America, It Puzzles Me Why We Continue To Look For
Other Non- Black Races To Save Us And Help Us.
WE BLACK AFRICANS SUFFER FROM A PSYCHOLOGICAL / SPIRITUAL
CONDITIONING THAT IS CAUSING MANY OF US TO GO TO EXTREMES
OF SUBCONSCIOUSLY HATING OURSELVES , WHILE WE LOOK AT
OTHER RACES [ ESPECIALLY THE WHITE EUROPEANS ] AS GODS WHO
WILL SAVE US . I Have A Question That I Will ASnswer With Historical
Facts ; Do These Black African Inventors Need Saving ? For Example
Thomas Edison Is Attributed The Invention Of The Light Bulb, When
Actaully He Only Made The Glass Casing For The Light Filament Which
Was Actaully Invented By LEWIS LATIMER. TURN ON THE LIGHTS AGAIN
BLACK AFRICANS AND STOP LOOKING FOR MAN TO SAVE YOU.
HAVE FAITH IN GODS & CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELVES !!!!
HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS TO OUR QUESTIONS OF CONFIDENCE :
