Beneficiary schools presented a citation in honour of Mr Daniel Addo, Managing Director
Consolidated Bank, Ghana (CBG) has made a donation of computers to three schools in the Sekyere South District of the Ashanti Region to enhance the studies of technology at the basic level of education.
The recipient schools were Bipoa Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Junior High School, Agona SDA Junior High School and Bedomase D/A Basic School, with each receiving 10 desktop computers.
Mr Daniel Addo, Managing Director of the Bank, said it was important to contribute to the development and sustainability of the communities they served.
He disclosed that their Corporate Social Responsible initiatives focused on three core pillars-Health, Community Development and Education, and that through these pillars they actively contributed to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressing key areas that would drive progress and wellbeing.
Mr. Addo noted that Agona like many other communities, thrived on agriculture, yet it faced challenges in accessing certain essential resources, particularly in information technology (IT) education.
He said the computers would open the doors to new opportunities and allow students to build essential IT skills, and commended the Gyasiwaa Education Support for their invaluable role in identifying the beneficiary schools and ensuring that their efforts would have the greatest impact where it was needed most.
The Managing Director disclosed that in addition to the computers, they had also given the schools a much-needed facelift across all the three schools by doing some electrical, painting and tiling works and refurbished their ICT laboratories.
Mr. Desmond Kwadwo Mensah, Headmaster of Bipoa SDA Junior High School on behalf of the three beneficiary schools expressed gratitude to the CBG for the kind gesture.
He promised the computers would be used effectively for the intended purpose to improve ICT education, saying the students in the area always performed well in the theory aspect of ICT but could not perform in the practicals because of the lack of equipment.
Nana Osei Kwadwo, the chief linguist, who represented Nana Gyapa Ameyaw, chief of Bipoa, commended CBG for the impactful initiatives to raise the standard of education in the community and nearby ones.
