This is part of his commitment to improving teaching, learning and effective supervision in the constituency.

Hon Andrew Egyapa Mercer said he is committed to maintaining education as a priority area of focus as it remains the backbone of socio-economic development, irrespective of one's geographical location.

He emphasized that public funds should be put to good use and that the items he presented to the Directorate were procured with his share of the GETFUND.

"Let us put in place measures to improve performance so that those investments will be motivated" he stressed.

He hinted that in addition some mono desks, hexagonal tables and chairs will soon be ready for distribution.
