Tema, Feb 17, GNA -- The Ghana Education Service, with funding from the British Department for International Development (DFID), has presented items to 300 needy pupils in the Tema Municipality to promote quality education.
The items included school uniforms, learning materials, HIV/AIDS playing kits, First Aid kits as well as 100,000 cedis scholarship for 60 girls in the municipality.
Mrs Lucy Kwapong, the Municipal Director of Education, said the DFID fund demands that beneficiary districts undertake seven compulsory activities in their districts.
The presentation is to fulfil the last three of the activities that are the School Health Education Programme, Girl-Child and Needy Pupils Package.
