The Parents Teacher Association (PTA) of the Madina Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Basic School on Thursday donated 150 pieces of assorted furniture to the school to facilitate teaching and learning.
The items included dual and mono desks, Kindergarten chairs and 10 set of teacher tables and chairs.
Presenting the items, the PTA chairman, Mr Isaac Addo, said the donation was to make them comfortable in the classroom and also make learning easier.
He said though there were other challenges in the school, classroom furniture and Information Communication Technology (ICT) facilities remained paramount, adding that with the support of stakeholders, these challenges would be addressed.
The Municipal Director of Education, Mr Kean Adjei Mensah, who received the items, commended the PTA for the timely intervention to complement the efforts of the government to provide basic needs for the school.
He appealed to all stakeholders, particularly parents, to contribute their quota to help make the school a model institution in the municipality.
The school manager, Pastor Obed K. Obeng, said that scores of children were in the community who needed to be enrolled, adding that it was the reason the school had remained public to afford parents the opportunity to enrol their children in the school.
"We expect more children to come for them to be impacted morally, academically and spiritually in a holistic education, which is the philosophy of Adventist education," he said.
In an address, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Madina Constituency, Mr Francis Xavier Sosu, pledged to provide a life-long scholarship for the best Basic Education Certificate Examination candidate of the school, starting this year.
This, he said, was to motivate students to commit to their books and perform well in their academic endeavours.
The MP recounted some ongoing educational programmes and projects in the area, adding that education would continue to be given the best attention since it was the best legacy to leave any group of people.
