Kintampo (B/A), Oct 27, GNA - Mr Kwasi Adu-Gyan, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Kintampo South Constituency, has said he would place a high premium on education if he won the December election.

Mr Adu-Gyan told the GNA at Kintampo on Monday that he would seek to improve upon the low standard of education in the area and expressed concern about the increasing number of school dropouts in the area as a result of parental irresponsibility.

He would also provide job opportunities in the Constituency to give employment to people in the area.
