Kenyasi (B/A) Aug. 24, GNA -Asutifi District in the Brong-Ahafo Region on Tuesday organised a public forum on education at Kenyasi.

The people had complained about poor standard of teaching and learning in the district.

Mr. Opoku Peprah, District Chief Executive, said the forum was part of the Government's decentralization policy to ensure good governance. "There cannot be good governance without the active involvement of all segments of the community," he said and called for a spirit of volunteerism among the youth to ensure rapid development of the district.
