Akosombo (E\/R), Nov. 19, GNA-The Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) has distributed over 11,000 exercise books and supplementary reading materials to six basic schools in Akosombo, in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n

The beneficiary schools, including Atimpoku RC Basic School and Atimpoku L\/A Junior High School, received the items as part of BOST\u2019s nationwide educational support programme.<\/p>\n

The initiative, which aims to distribute 100,000 learning materials across the country, is targeted at schools in communities impacted by BOST\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

Mr Yaw Antwi Dadzie, BOST\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Manager, \u201cWe are ensuring that schools in communities surrounding our depots have the necessary learning materials to boost education.<\/p>\n

So far, we have covered areas like Kumasi, Savelugu, Buipe, Debre, and Bolga, distributing over 80,000 materials,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the initiative aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4, which promoted equitable and quality education.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dadzie noted that a needs-based assessment conducted two years ago informed the decision to support schools with educational resources.<\/p>\n

Beyond distributing learning materials, he said that BOST had also demonstrated its commitment to education through a GH\u20b51.5 million scholarship programme for 50 students at the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT).<\/p>\n

The scholarship covers tuition, laptops, stipends, and other support.<\/p>\n

In addition, he said the company was actively contributing to environmental sustainability through tree-planting initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprints.<\/p>\n

Headteachers of the recipient schools expressed gratitude for the timely intervention, highlighting the significant challenges they face in providing basic learning materials for pupils.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeaching and learning go hand in hand with assessment, but some pupils lack exercise books, making it difficult to track their progress,\u201d one teacher said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese exercise books have come at the right time, allowing us to better evaluate how learners are faring in teaching and learning,\u201d another headteacher added.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

They noted that the donation would help address an urgent need, but the overall demand for learning materials remained substantial.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach child needs about 15 exercise books to meet their academic requirements. We hope for more support to ensure sustained academic improvement,\u201d the teachers added.<\/p>\n

BOST\u2019s initiative underscores its commitment to improving education and addressing critical gaps in learning resources for schools in their host communities.
