Tamale Metropolitan Assembly supports 276 students

November 13, 2009
Out of the number, 122 are teacher trainees whiles the remaining 154 are made up of students pursuing tertiary programmes across the country. The students received financial support ranging from GH¢50 to GH¢200.

He said the assembly would, from next year, give priority to education to ensure that the facility covered as many needy students as possible to improve education in the region.

He expressed regret that Tamale occupied the 91st and 89th positions in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) of 2007 and 2008 respectively, which was unacceptable, and that attention would be given to education to reverse the trend.
