A total of 96 students from the Atwima-Nwabiagya South Municipality have been provided with financial support from government and District Assembly and have gained admissions into various tertiary institutions.
Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Michael Awuku Amoah, Â who presented the packages to the students and their parents at Nkawie, said the aim was to ease the financial burden of poor parents, who were struggling to keep their wards in school.
It was also to help increase access for more Ghanaian youth to acquire higher education. MCE Amoah charged the beneficiaries to study hard to justify their inclusion since academic excellence was the only criteria to guarantee their continued enjoyment of financial support. He said the decentralization of the country’s scholarship scheme was to ensure equity and expand the number of children who benefited from the scheme every year. The MCE charged parents to show a keen interest in the education of their children.The chief of Nerebehi, Oheneba Bonnah Manu, who chaired the function praised government for decentralizing the scholarship to benefit students in rural communities and said such a pro-poor initiative was needed to support rural people.
