The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has asked school authorities to take advantage of the Otumfuo Education Fund to improve upon their infrastructure facilities to ensure effective teaching and learning.
He said the fund was set up specifically towards the development and improvement of education in the country. He therefore urged schools to avail themselves to the fund so that the objectives for which the fund was set up would be achieved.
He explained that schools are expected to submit proposals on their needs to the board of trustees of the fund and negotiate with them for the release of the funds.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu who was speaking at the Speech and Prize Giving day of Saint Louis training College in Kumasi, regretted pledging 100 million cedis from the fund to Prempeh College towards their dormitory building and a bus for St. Louis College because the authorities of the school failed to negotiate with the board for the release of the funds.
