Mr Daniel Keshi Bessey, the Member of Parliament for the Sege Constituency, has announced the allocation of GH¢100,000 to support tertiary education in the constituency.
The initiative is expected to provide financial assistance to students pursuing higher education across various institutions.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Sege, Mr Bessey said the decision was informed by the financial challenges faced by some tertiary students in the area.
According to him, the fund, drawn from his share of the District Assemblies Common Fund, is intended to ease the burden on students and support their academic pursuits.
He emphasised that education remains a key priority for his office, describing it as the foundation for national development.
Mr Bessey also highlighted his efforts to promote quality education through the introduction of a teachers’ award scheme in the constituency.
He said the initiative, which recognised outstanding teachers in 2025, would be sustained to motivate educators and improve teaching standards.
“It has been a long time since such recognition was organised in the constituency, and we are committed to continuing it to enhance the quality of education,” he said.
The MP urged students to take their studies seriously and strive for excellence, adding that education remains one of the most effective pathways to personal and national development.
