The MP’s gesture however also saved parents who were finding it difficult to settle the bills of their children in the school.
Due to huge sums of monies owed by these students, school authorities have decided to strictly ensure that they do not take part in the final examination.
Meanwhile, the MP for Agona East Maame Pokuah Sawyer came to the rescue of the students and paid a total amount of GHC10,000. 00 to offer the disadvantaged students the opportunity to sit for their final exams since "CAMFED" is no longer operational due to the introduction of the Free SHS last academic year.
Speaking to the beneficiary students, Hon Maame Pokuah advised them to read their books to improve on their past results then to enable every student to excel.
She then surprised the students with a promise to serve them lunch every day during their examination period.
