Lawra MP, municipal assembly end desk shortage affecting 1,470 pupils
Bede Ziedeng, Member of Parliament for Lawra, and the Lawra Municipal Assembly donated 1,010 desks to schools in the Lawra Municipality. The intervention is aimed at ending years of severe furniture shortages that forced some lower primary pupils to study while seated or lying on bare classroom floors. The desks are expected to address the furniture deficit affecting about 1,470 pupils across the municipality.
The donation includes 460 dual desks provided by the MP and 550 mono desks supplied by the Municipal Assembly. Municipal Director of Education, Francis Cudjoe, said the lack of desks had become a daily challenge for both teachers and learners. Mr. Ziedeng said, "I am aware of the lack of furniture in some of our schools. It is precisely because of that that I am providing this intervention." Soyelle Cecilia Nuratu, the Municipal Chief Executive, described the intervention as essential to improving learning conditions for pupils, saying, "It is their right, and they deserve to enjoy it."
Mr. Cudjoe expressed appreciation for the support and assured that the furniture would be properly maintained, stating, "We promise to take very good care of them. This support will go a long way in improving teaching and learning in our schools." The intervention is expected to significantly improve classroom conditions and help create a more conducive learning environment for pupils across the municipality.
