Afenyo-Markin pledges to support 1,662 JHS graduates from Effutu
Mr Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for Effutu Constituency and Majority Leader of Ghana's 8th Parliament, has pledged support for 1,662 recent Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduates from his constituency.
Each student will receive GHC1,000 to help them transition into secondary education under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s free education policy.
The initiative aims to ease the financial pressure on families, particularly those in rural areas, ensuring that all students have the resources needed to succeed in their educational journey.
By providing this support, Mr Afenyo-Markin hopes to foster a productive learning environment that empowers students to thrive.
Addressing the students at a gathering at the Nsuekyir Community Centre, Mr Afenyo-Markin expressed his commitment to advancing education in Effutu.
He emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for every child, aspiring for a future where Effutu contributes more doctors, teachers, engineers, lawyers, journalists, and other professionals to the nation.
Mr Afenyo-Markin’s focus on education is reflected in his past initiatives, including the "One Teacher, One Laptop" programme and "The Effutu Dream," which has led to the establishment of over 16 libraries and ICT labs in the constituency.
His efforts demonstrate a steadfast dedication to empowering the youth and promoting community development through education.
