He urgedd stakeholders in education, parents and teachers to collaborate and complement one another in a bid to give our children the best form of education.

Receiving the books on behalf of the Assembly, Mrs. Fafa Adinyirah, Ho Municipal Chief Executive thanked the donor for the gesture.

“We cannot always build the future for our youth without books”, adding that the books would be distributed to schools in the municipality to enhance teaching and learning.

Mr. Dickson Kofi Pi-Bansah, Head of Human Resource Management and Development Unit, Ho Municipal Education Directorate noted that the books have come at the right time when many of the schools are without books.

It would therefore go a long way to improve quality education in the Municipality.
