In a continued effort to support education in his constituency, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has donated 36 laptops to teachers who accepted postings in rural communities within North Tongu.
This initiative aims to appreciate their commitment and enhance teaching and learning in underserved areas.
This latest donation is part of Ablakwa’s longstanding tradition of supporting educators and students. In 2019, he provided 60 laptops valued at over GHS 100,000 to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) teachers across 55 public Junior High Schools and five Senior High Schools in the constituency.
Beyond supporting teachers, Ablakwa has also recognized academic excellence among students. He awarded full scholarships to 25 top-performing WASSCE students in the constituency, covering their entire tertiary education.
Additionally, he has consistently rewarded winners of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) from his alma mater, Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC), with other incentives.
Ablakwa has expressed plans to scale up other teacher-friendly policies, including continuous capacity building, scholarships, and award schemes, to retain and motivate teachers, ultimately aiming to improve educational outcomes in North Tongu.
