Consolidated Bank Ghana donates textbooks to Adaklu-Vodze Basic School
The Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) has donated textbooks to the Adaklu-Vodze Basic School in the Adaklu District of the Volta Region, to encourage children to cultivate the habit of reading at an early stage to promote their education.
Presenting the books, the Managing Director (MD) of the CBG, Dr Naomi Wolali Kwetey, said the Bank was not only concentrating on financial activities but also committed to the education of children at the basic level.
Dr Kwetey explained that the objective of CBG was to build a strong foundation for children at the basic level of education, particularly to promote the culture of reading among pupils to enable them to engage in a meaningful academic journey.
She stressed that CBG believed that literacy was the foundation on which children built their dreams, therefore the Bank was making conscious efforts to ensure an effective education of children through improved reading abilities that would influence their future.
She said “by providing our children with resources, we support their educational development and instil a sense of pride in their own stories and our shared history,” she stressed.
Dr Kwetey therefore asked pupils to learn hard, and read regularly to let their imaginations run with them, saying it was important to take their lessons seriously to enable them to become responsible adults in future.
Receiving the items, the head teacher of Adaklu-Vodze Basic School, Mr Edward Dzidza, thanked the management of CBG for the gesture, and said the textbooks would definitely promote quality teaching and learning in the school.
Mr Dzidza explained that the school did not have adequate reading materials, compelling two or three pupils to share one textbook, and was happy that the 700 reading materials provided for the school would ensure that each child would get access to one textbook.
