Pupils at the Nana Pa District Assembly (D/A) Primary School at Nana Pa, a town in the Atiwa East District of the Eastern region would heave a sigh of relief after the Nana Adjei Kyeremah Foundation, a Non-governmental organisation donated 70 dual desks to the school.
The pupils who were previously sharing a desk among three or four pupils, would now have more desks to ensure pupils’ comfort and enhance teaching and learning.
The Founder of Nana Adjei Foundation, Nana Adjei Kyerema, during the handing over of the desks to the school said the donation was made after the school management appealed to the foundation for help.
He indicated that the lack of adequate classroom desks for the pupils would have adverse effects on attendance, adding that most of the children would either have to share desks or bring their own chairs from home to use in the classrooms.
That, he said would make them uncomfortable and tired and would subsequently affect their studies in the long term.
“These pupils will one day have to compete with other children in the urban cities and internationally and we believe that they are able to learn effectively when logistics and needed infrastructure to facilitate their learning is made available for them and that is why we have done this donation,” he said.
Nana Kyerema explained that the Foundation placed premium on right educational foundation of the rural child at the basic level and hence was committed to ensuring that the rural child was supported to excel.
He called on stakeholders in the education sector, individuals and organisations in the country to also come to the aid of the school and help to impact their lives positively.
For his part, the Headmaster of the school, Osei Abrokwah thanked the founder of the Foundation for the kind gesture and stated that the school would ensure to put the desks to good use and maintain them.
He revealed that the school has a population of 222 pupils, adding that the 70 dual desks would take about 140 of the pupils out of the 222.
“Previously we had pupils sitting four on a desk and it made writing difficult for them and so we are grateful to the foundation and would keep them well.
Mr Abrokwah also revealed that the whole school had only one desktop computer which they used to teach ICT for the entire pupils’ population and also lacked reading books.
He therefore appealed to the Foundation and other stakeholders to come to the aid of the school.
The Chief of Nana Pa community, Barfour Akwei I said the school has several needs including lack of adeqyate desks,reading books,computers among many others.
He thanked the Foundation for the kind gesture.

The University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) has disputed claims made on social media by comedian Michael Blackson concerning the treatment given to his late mother, saying a review found that the allegations did not accurately reflect what happened during her stay at the hospital.
In a statement issued in Accra on August 5, 2026, the management of UGMC expressed condolences to Mr. Blackson and his family over the death of his 83-year-old mother, who died at the facility on July 16, 2026.
The hospital said it had taken the concerns raised by Mr. Blackson seriously and conducted a thorough review in line with its clinical and administrative procedures.
According to the statement, the facts presented by Mr. Blackson on social media contained “numerous inaccuracies” and did not accurately reflect the medical care provided to his mother.
UGMC explained that she was referred to the facility from another hospital and received treatment there from May 27 to July 16, 2026, a period of about eight weeks.
The hospital stated that it would not release details of her diagnosis, treatment, medical records or other aspects of her care because it had a duty to protect patient confidentiality, even after death.
It said the decision was intended to respect the dignity of the deceased and the privacy of her family.
UGMC further stated that all clinical decisions at the facility are made by qualified healthcare professionals based on medical judgment, established standards of care and the best interests of the patient.
The statement added that such decisions are made in consultation with authorised family representatives where necessary and that billing and financial procedures are governed by institutional policies and are separate from clinical decision-making.
The hospital noted that it values feedback from patients and their families and considers both positive and negative comments important for improving the quality of care.
Mr. Blackson had earlier used social media to criticise the care his mother received at UGMC, prompting the hospital’s response.
