THE Hohoe Municipal Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) in the Volta Region is taking steps to improve on teaching and learning in its educational institutions.
The directorate has, accordingly, distributed 80 motorbikes to some of its teachers, including 15 circuit supervisors. One hundred more motorbikes are expected soon.
The motorbikes are expected to improve the work of the teachers and the supervisors in the circuits.
Ms Juliet Beauty Dede Kumah, the Hohoe Municipal Director of the GES, said this at the first ordinary sitting of the Hohoe Municipal Assembly at Hohoe.
The municipality placed 12th in the region in the Basic Education Examination Certificate (BECE) in 2004, but moved to the ninth position during the 2008 BECE.
Ms Kumah noted with gratification that almost all the schools in the municipality had achieved the one-to-one textbook ratio.
In sports, she said the municipality placed third at the 43rd edition of the Volta Regional Sports festival last year and in the regional cultural festival. The municipality placed first in choral music, sight reading and exhibition and fifth in poetry and drum language.
The municipal assembly has also suggested the establishment of an endowment fund to support the GES in addressing educational issues, while the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) voted GH¢882,010.00 for the construction of three education-based projects in the municipality.
These include a dormitory with a bungalow attached to the Mentally Challenged Home at Gbi Kledzo, a six-unit classroom block, office, store, staff common room and a six-seater water closet at Gbi Kpeme and a one-storey classroom block with auxiliary facilities at the Midwifery Training School in Hohoe.
Under the Community Based Rural Development Programme (CBRDP), the municipality has also benefited from a GH¢107,571.00 grant for a three-unit classroom block and a store at Fodome Amele and a six-unit classroom block with office, store and library at Nyagbo-Odumasi.
