Speaking at the event, Samuel Asamoah said the intervention was aimed at reducing the furniture deficit in schools and ending situations where pupils sit on floors or share limited desks.
“Education remains a priority for this assembly. These 1,000 desks will go directly to schools that need them most, so every child can have a proper place to sit and learn,” he said.
The Kwahu East District Director of Education, , George Kwame Somuah thanked the DCE and assembly for the support. He noted that overcrowding and inadequate furniture had been a major challenge for many basic schools in the district.
Headteachers who received the desks pledged to maintain them properly and ensure they benefit pupils for years.
