Pentecost University has rolled out teaching support for schools in the towns of Kwahu Afram Plains, in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
The intervention is in collaboration with the Afram Plains Area of The Church of Pentecost, the Kwahu Afram Plains North and South Education Directorates of the Ghana Education Service.
To this end, the University sent some of its most brilliant, disciplined, and people-centered students to teach in schools in the area, during the first-semester vacation.
Through the District Education Directorates, the students have been posted to schools that need the services of teachers.
In addition to teaching, the students are involved in missionary activities including house-to-house evangelism, community and schools outreaches.
According to the Vice-Chancellor of Pentecost University, Prof. Kwabena Agyapong-Kodua, the project aims at supporting education in rural communities, in particular, with teachers and, at the same time, exposing the students to rural life and realities of challenges that they are being prepared to solve.
The VC added the project is also part of The Church of Pentecost’s vision to equip the Church to possess the nations for Christ. “Through this, young people are being exposed to real-life missions’ activities and interventions that are required to glorify the name of Christ Jesus.” … the VC said.
On his part, the Kwahu Afram Plains Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Aps. Victor K. Asamoah said the project has been helpful. He said “I commend PU for this excellent project because the students in my Area are so excited to see the University students, and it will make a huge impact on the lives of the people”
Kwahu Afram Plains has a huge human resource deficit in the health and education sector.
Many schools have inadequate teachers due to new teachers rejecting postings to the hard-to-reach areas of the area.
The intervention by Pentecost University is to help breach the gap.
