The 1994 year Group of Ejisu Senior High Technical School (ESHTS) has donated 104 mono desks to their alma mater to improve teaching and learning.
Mr Annor Frimpong, President of the Group, said the gesture was influenced by observation made during a recent visit to the school 30 years after completion, which did not augur well for teaching and learning.
According to him, the students were paired to a mono desk, a situation he said motivated them to embark on the furniture project to ensure that their sitting condition improved.
He advised the students to take their studies seriously by making friends with their books to enable them come out with flying colours and become responsible adults to contribute their quota to the socioeconomic development of the school and country as a whole.
Madam Grace Asamani, the Headmistress of the school, who received the furniture, expressed the school’s gratitude to the 1994 year group for the kind gesture.
She pleaded with other old students of the school to emulate the example of the group to contribute and support the school in terms of infrastructure and academics to make the school one of the best in the country.
She said the school was behind in terms of infrastructural facilities and other logistics to improve teaching and learning on campus.
She appealed to stakeholders to help the school with a dormitory for boys and girls, school bus and teacher bungalows to house most of them on campus, adding that only three teachers were housed on campus.
