Ghana: Kwahu East Assembly is to Spend More On Education

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 :

    BLACK AFRICAN INVENTORS AND THEIR INVENTIONS
