Cape Coast- Mr George Kweku Ricketts-Hagan, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Cape Coast South, has presented a cheque for GHC20,000.
00 to the Metro Education Directorate for the purchase of equipment to facilitate teaching and learning.
The MP said quality education delivery in the metropolis was a shared responsibility hence the donation.
He said helping to break the geographical and physical barriers in education, particularly in deprived and hard-to-reach communities, must be the priority of all and called for strategic policies to achieve that target.
Mr Hagan said there was no better investment than in education as it had the capability to transform the lives of the people, ensure quality manpower, and aid faster development.
He expressed worry over the huge number of schools in deplorable states in the area, which needed to be renovated to create a conducive environment for teaching and learning.
Mrs Dorcas Asare, the Metro Director of Education, who received the cheque, expressed gratitude to the MP for the gesture, saying it was timely and will be of immense benefit to all.
She gave the assurance that the Directorate would work harder to improve on academic work and called on stakeholders to get on board to achieve the set targets.
