The Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipal Assembly (EKMA) has provided mattresses, exercise books and other essential items to newly admitted Senior High School (SHS) One students within the municipality.
The initiative, led by the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Abdul Majeed Dokurgu, is aimed at supporting students as they transition into secondary education while reducing some of the financial pressure on parents and guardians.
The Assembly says the intervention is also intended to provide students with the basic materials needed to settle comfortably into school and concentrate on their academic work.
Speaking on the initiative on Wednesday 16th September 2026 at the Effiakuma Police Park, Hon. Abdul Majeed Dokurgu said the Assembly remains committed to investing in education and supporting young people within the municipality.
“We recognise the challenges some parents and guardians face when their children gain admission to Senior High School. This support is our contribution towards easing that burden and helping the students begin their secondary education on a good footing,” he said.
He added that the Assembly would continue to explore initiatives that improve access to educational opportunities and promote the development of young people in the Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipality.
The beneficiaries have expressed appreciation to the Assembly for the support, describing the items as timely assistance as they begin their SHS education.
The EKMA has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening support for education and creating opportunities that will enable young people in the municipality to achieve their academic and career aspirations.
