Tema (Northern Region) 26 May ’99
The British Department for International Development (DFID), on Tuesday donated 4.5 million English supplementary readers worth 24 billion cedis to the Ministry of Education at Tema.
The books are a collection of Foreign and African writers.
Dr. J. Swift of DFID said that knowledge cannot be transferred without books while books cannot be used effectively without teachers.
He called for collaboration between players in the book industry and teachers to enable the latter write books for the next generation.
Dr. Stephen Ayidiya, co-ordinator for development partners of the ministry said the donation would help improve the standard of teaching and learning in schools.
