The Anlo Senior High School Alumni (ANSSOSA Global) have supported the school with 100 mono desks to help create conducive teaching and learning environment.
The move was part of the group’s efforts to improve the learning environment and provide students with the necessary facilities to excel academically.
Mr Kplorla Mensa Gbekor, a representative of 1980 year group was assisted by Mr Silas Aidam, President of the 1985 year group in donating the items on behalf of the alumni.
In an interview with Ghana News Agency, Mr Gbekor said the donation, which formed part of the group’s ongoing efforts to support the school, aimed at addressing the dire need of furniture in the classrooms.
“We believe that every student deserves a comfortable and conducive learning environment and we are committed to making this a reality. We are calling on all old students to come on board.”
He explained that the alumni diaspora group had earlier donated 200 mono desks which had already been distributed to the school while the 1985 year group had also earlier handed 100 pieces, bringing the total number of mono desks donated to 400.
Mr Gbekor said the objective of ANSSOSA Global was to provide a total of 800 mono desks to cater for the furniture needs of the school, hoping that the move would improve the academic performance of the students and impact the overall quality of education in the school.
“We make these donations through benevolent contributions by old students and the groups are committed to support the school to attain a Grade A status.”
He appealed to the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education to turn their attention to the needs of the school, urging the government and other education stakeholders to play critical roles in supporting the school and providing students with the necessary facilities to excel.
Mr Gbekor said ANSSOSA Global groups were open to collaborating with other organisations and individuals who shared their vision of improving education and believed that by working together, there would be greater impact.
Mr Aidam said the initiative started with their group (1985) after Mr Wisdom Kwame Adeti, a former Headmaster of the school, lamented about the furniture deficit in the school during their group’s 40th anniversary ceremony.
He said various year groups had been contributing to support the school in various forms to ultimately improve the academic standard in the school and commended the Parent-Teacher Association for their constant contributions to the school’s development.
Mr Felix Amegbor and Madam Joyce Afi Avorkliya, Assistant Headmaster of Academics and Assistant Headmistress of Administration respectively, who received the items on behalf of the school thanked the old students for their kind gesture.
They promised to put the items to the intended use to promote quality education and urged other old students, philanthropists, individuals and, the government to help solve other pressing challenges of the school, including bunk beds for boarding students to address the deficit.
