Mankranso (Ash), Feb 04, GNA-The Ahafo-Ano South office of the Non-Formal Education Division (NFED) has distributed incentive packages totalling over 50 million cedis to its facilitators in the district. The items included 47 packets of roofing sheets, a sewing machine and pieces of wax prints and they were distributed among the facilitators selected from 39 communities.

Briefing the GNA Mr Mathew Borgor, the Ahafo-Ano South District Co-ordinator of the NFED, said the decision to motivate the facilitators stemmed from their immense contribution towards the literacy programme. He said through the performances of the facilitators, between 25 and 30 learners from each community have graduated and awarded certificates equivalent to the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

Mr Borgor said the learners had been equipped to be able to read the Holy Bible, read the scale for weighing cocoa, engage in income generating activities, especially maize processing as well as numeracy. He appealed to the government agencies, non-governmental organisations and philanthropists for assistance to enable the division provide learners who have eye problems with reading glasses to enable them function properly.
