President Nana Akufo-Addo has announced that from this week, every district, municipal and metropolitan directorate of education will receive a pick-up vehicle, something which they have not had since 2003.
This, he said, will facilitate their work of supervision, and help deliver quality education.
Speaking at the 68th Speech and Prize-Giving Day of Opoku Ware School, President Akufo-Addo assured that Government will deal with the issues as they arise, and ensure that it continues to invest in the education and a skill training of our young people, as the investment represents the best hope for the social and economic future of our country.
In July 2019, the Minister of Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, aka Napo, said all Regional Directors of Education in the country will each be presented with a 4×4 brand new vehicle to enhance their work.
Again every District Office of Education and Circuit Supervisor of Education will receive a pickup vehicle and a brand new motorbike respectively.
In 2016, the Ministry distributed 500 vehicles to educational institutions as follows: 31 to District Offices, 85 to Colleges of Education, 311 to SHS, 24 to TVET, 13 to Universities, 10, Polytechnics, 13 to Special Schools.
