In another development, Hon. Takyi said, due to the
Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education programme (FCUBE), government has
absorbed all fees needed to be paid by parents for their children in the primary
and junior high schools and stressed
that, the programme has helped to increase the enrolment figures in the Basic
and Junior High schools and urged the directorate to play their routine supervising
role to ensure that teachers report to work at all times to teach the students.
He said the office equipment provided by the Assembly will go a long way to
help the directorate to keep data on all final year students registered to
write the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in the Municipality.
Mr. Tawia, the director in charge of the
inspectorate division who received the equipment on behalf of the Tano South
Municipal Director of Education thanked the MCE and the Assembly for their kind
gesture and promised that the equipment will be used for its intended purposes
and also put them into good use.
