A 28-year-old labourer has enrolled in Primary Five at the Nkawkaw Saint Anthony Catholic Primary School in the Kwahu West District because of his determination to obtain formal education.
The labourer, Koudjo Djamesi, was among pupils who enrolled in the school during 'My First Day at School' programme.
Kwahu West District Director of Education, Mr Seth Koranteng, and the Kwahu West District Chief Executive, Nana Kofi Kesse, visited the school last Tuesday.
Mr Djamesi said he returned from Togo with his mother after his father's death about a year ago and decided to attend school to obtain a Certificate and be gainfully employed.
He said he would do menial work during weekends and holidays to finance his education.
Kwahu West District Director of Education, Mr Seth Koranteng, who was visiting the school at the time Djamesi was registering, commended Mr Djamesi for his interest in education and urged him to attend classes regularly and take his lessons seriously to achieve his aim.
He urged parents to take advantage of the Capitation Grant and School Feeding Programme and send their children to school.
Golden Jubilee anniversary cups, hats, biscuits, toys and miniature national flags were distributed to kindergarten children who were admitted to schools in the district.
