quality education to develop the constituents in the Nabdam area.

honour the best teacher and pupil in the District to motivate teachers and that
the Assembly would not relent in supporting any educational institution that
has intentions to help boost education performance in the area.

Mrs Anamoo said the Assembly is collaborating
with some Non-Governmental Organizations and has furnished the Kongo Junior
High school with a computer laboratory furnished with computers to promote the

Mrs Anamoo called on parents and stakeholders
to support sustain the double track system under the free Senior High School
programme

She said it was a measure that would help to
bring about sanity and improve on quality of teaching and learning in the

teachers would be able to teach and have enough time to assess the required
number of students in a class “because the double track would reduce and allocate
the required numbers to a class”.
