Dansoman based Oddarene Christian School (OCS) has awarded full scholarships to five pupils as part of their social responsibility and contribution to education of Ghanaian citizens.
Founder and proprietor of the school, Kweku Addo who announced the new scheme of the school said Oddarene is a unique educational institution with diverse activities to make learning enjoyable and sustainable.
On the occasion to make their fourth Ghanaian Day celebration, when every pupil and staff wears locally made dresses and consume Ghanaian dishes to remind of the rich Ghanaian culture, the school decided to introduce the scholarship scheme for new students who come from poor backgrounds, but are intelligent.

He hinted that over the years they have supported 30 pupils with full or half scholarships and the community, however, this year’s program is special because those who benefited are not from the school, but were selected from the community and tested to become new enrolments.

Their parents of the children could not hide their joy and thanked the school owner for his kindness.
