Kumasi, Jan 6, GNA - The New Patriotic Party (NPP)

Member of Parliament (MP) for Subin, Mr Isaac Osei, has

presented GH¢27,919.00 as scholarship to 52 brilliant but needy

students in the constituency. The beneficiaries received between GH¢411.00 and

GH¢600.00 to cover tuition and other expenses for the 2010/2011

academic year. The selection was done by a special committee set up

by the MP. Mr Osei pledged continued support for young and

brilliant students from poor homes to pursue academic careers. Education, he noted, is the greatest legacy, that parents

and guardians could leave their children and appealed to them to

give the young ones reasonable education. Mr Osei said the scholarship was not only meant to

offer financial assistance but to inspire them to work hard to

achieve academic laurels. Mr Charles Hagan, Chairman of the scholarship

committee, urged the beneficiaries to make the most of the

opportunity given them and study hard to merit further push. Mr Osei has also donated 80 wheel-barrows to some

schools in the constituency. These included the Asem cluster of schools,

Amankwatia Primary and Junior High School (JHS) and Abrotia

Primary and JHS. He praised both staff and pupils for maintaining good

sanitation in their schools and said he was confident that the wheel

-barrows would assist them to do more to beautify and keep a

healthy environment. He repeated his commitment towards helping to raise

academic performance of schools in the area and appealed to the

teachers and pupils to re-dedicate themselves and work extra hard.
