THE Takara Bigiza Company Limited, a construction firm, has donated assorted learning materials valued at GH¢42,300 to the Kotingli Presbyterian Primary School in Tamale in the Northern Region to support teaching and learning.
The items included English and Mathematics textbooks, exercise books, shoes, school uniforms, pencils, pens, crayons and erasers.
The donation forms part of the company’s efforts to promote education in schools across the Tamale Metropolis, particularly in the Tamale South Constituency.
Presenting the items on behalf of the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Tony Mahama Paa Oluu, an administrator, Mr Abdul Ganiu Sandoo, said the company had undertaken several interventions over the past 10 years to support education in deprived communities in the constituency.
He said the company had spent close to GH¢580,000 on educational support during that period, benefiting more than 2,000 pupils and students across the Tamale South Constituency.
Mr Sandoo explained that giving back to society, particularly by supporting schoolchildren, was part of the CEO’s commitment to ensuring that vulnerable children in underserved communities received the education they deserved.
He appealed to parents and teachers to continue working hard to nurture the pupils, whom he described as the future leaders of the country.
He also urged parents to prioritise quality education for their children and encouraged the pupils to study hard to make their parents proud and secure a better future.
The headteacher of the school commended the CEO and his team for the donation, saying the items had arrived at an opportune time.
He assured the donors that the school would closely monitor the use of the materials to ensure they were properly maintained.
The Magaziya of the Kotingli community, Asana Baba Alhassan Seidu, who spoke on behalf of parents, also praised the CEO for the gesture.
She said the community would continue to pray for him and his team, asking Allah to guide and bless the company.
She also commended the teachers for their efforts in educating the pupils and helping to care for them while they were in school.
The Tamale South Constituency Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Seidu Abass Alhassan, advised parents to take good care of their children, describing them as the future leaders of the country.
He also urged parents to maintain good relationships with teachers to promote effective teaching and ensure that their children received quality education.
