The Ho West District Assembly has handed over 600 dual-desks valued at a cost of GHC 225,000 to the District Directorate of Education (DDE), for distribution to the various basic schools in the area.
The desks in addition to four teachers’ desks, and four cardboards were produced with funds from the District Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT) to augment the shortfall of furniture in the schools.
The (DCE), Mr Ernest Apau, said during the handing-over ceremony here a fortnight ago that the Assembly was committed to quality education and would take steps to eradicate the menace of furniture shortage in schools.
The Ho West District Director of Education, Madam Catherine Korsi Agordo expressed gratitude for the items and gave the assurance that they would be shared equitably among the schools.

Deputy National Women Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah, has openly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson as the next National Women’s Organiser of the party.
In a statement endorsing Hawa Koomson’s candidature, Ms Duah outlined four key reasons why she believes the former MP and Minister of State is best placed to lead the party’s women’s wing.
According to her, Hawa Koomson is a motherly figure who rose from the grassroots and is widely noted for her forgiving nature and ability to foster unity.
“She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing,” she stated.
Ms Duah also pointed to Hawa Koomson’s vast experience, having served as a Constituency Women’s Organiser, Member of Parliament and Minister of State, noting that the experience positions her to provide effective leadership as National Women’s Organiser.
She further described Hawa Koomson as capable of making the women’s wing resourceful, through her extensive network and business contacts, to lobby for logistics, training and financial support for women organisers at all levels.
Lastly, she said the NPP as an opposition party needs fearless, bold and assertive leadership at the women’s front to inspire regional, constituency and polling station women organisers as the party reorganises towards the 2028 elections.
“We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader,” she stressed.
