First and second-year College of Education tutees who have not returned to school as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, have been urged to take keen interest in the virtual lessons being organised by their colleges.
The Principal of Enchi College of Education, Mr Phillip Ntaah who gave the advised, said students should endeavor to join the lectures on time and report challenges encountered to their tutors for redress.
Mr Ntaah said so far, the Enchi College of Education had recorded 90 percent of students’ participation in the virtual lessons.
He said students of the College who found it difficult to access lessons at the time when it is being delivered because they don’t have smart mobile phones or due to poor internet connectivity, would receive assistance from the government through Transforming Teacher Education and Learning (T-Tel) and National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE)”.
He said management with support from the Student Representative Council (SRC) had identified such students and they would be given the needed assistance.
“We have been informed that fifty smart mobile phones are going to be given to these students at a cheaper price to enable them pay by installments,” the Principal stated.
Mr Ntaah further said “SD cards have also been procured, so tutors have been made to upload their tutorials and very soon the materials will be ready and students can go for it at the nearest College of Education.”
The Principal mentioned that all the measures were being implemented by the various Colleges of Education and if students adhered to them, they would complete their studies even though COVID-19 was still in the country.

President John Dramani Mahama today cut the sod for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Model Market in Juapong, North Tongu District, marking the commencement of a transformative project aimed at boosting local commerce, creating sustainable jobs, and driving economic growth in the Volta Region.
The sod-cutting ceremony formed part of the President’s two-day ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ of the Volta Region.
Addressing residents and stakeholders, President Mahama described the proposed facility as a modern economic centre designed to empower farmers, traders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
He noted that beyond serving as a marketplace, the project will provide critical infrastructure for storage, processing, packaging, distribution, digital commerce, and access to financial services.
The President reaffirmed Government’s commitment to accelerating development across the Volta Region through strategic investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, transport, markets, and agro-industrial initiatives.
He highlighted Juapong’s strategic location and economic potential, indicating that the town is well-positioned to emerge as a key commercial and industrial destination within the region.
As part of the flagship 24-Hour Economy programme, the Juapong Model Market will be among the largest facilities under the initiative.
The project has been designated as a Category Four Market, the highest classification within the programme, reflecting its significance to the region’s economic transformation.
Broadcast journalist and aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Gomoa West, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has pledged to embark on major infrastructure development if elected to represent the constituency in Parliament.
Speaking on Onua TV platform, Captain Smart said his priority would be to transform Gomoa West through extensive development projects.
“I will turn the constituency into a construction site,” he declared, stressing his commitment to improving infrastructure across the area.
Although much of his remarks focused on rallying supporters in local languages, he repeatedly assured residents that they would witness significant development under his leadership.
Captain Smart also urged party supporters to remain united and actively participate in the party’s internal activities ahead of the parliamentary primaries.
He expressed confidence in his bid and promised to work hard to improve the lives of people in Gomoa West if given the opportunity to serve as their parliamentary candidate.
