Akrofuom MP donates motorbikes laptops and cash to boost education in district
The Member of Parliament for Akrofuom, Joseph Azumah, has donated five motorbikes, laptops, a power plant and cash support to the Akrofuom Education Directorate in a bid to enhance teaching, learning and administrative efficiency across the district. The presentation was made during a ceremony held in Adansi Akrofuom, which also included financial support for 20 outstanding BECE students now in SHS 1.
According to MP Azumah, the motorbikes will enable education supervisors to reach remote schools more quickly for monitoring, while the laptops will help improve school administrative work and record-keeping. The power plant was supplied to address power-outage challenges in some schools. He stressed that education remains the most reliable pathway to the district’s development and pledged continued support for schools.
The Acting District Director of Education and Deputy Director of Monitoring and Supervision, Charles Clifford Baah, expressed deep gratitude. He noted the donation responds to long-standing requests for transportation and office equipment and said the new tools would reduce the cost of travel for school visits, which previously consumed large portions of limited administrative funds.
Education stakeholders in the district believe this support could significantly improve school oversight, teacher accountability, and ultimately learning outcomes, especially in communities that are difficult to reach due to poor road networks. Some parents and community leaders welcomed the gesture as a step toward closing resource gaps that have long hampered quality education in rural areas.
As Ghana continues efforts to improve access to quality education especially in remote districts, interventions like this by local representatives highlight a growing trend: combining public resources with individual leadership contributions to address infrastructural and logistical challenges. The hope is that students in Akrofuom will benefit in the long run from improved supervision, better learning environments, and encouragement toward academic excellence.
