The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has donated GH₵100,000 to the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II’s Education Fund to support the academic development of children and youth within the Ga State.
The fund is set to provide scholarships, learning materials, and other forms of assistance to students from vulnerable backgrounds across the Greater Accra Region.
The donation was made on Monday, January 26, 2026, during a courtesy call on the Ga Traditional Council, part of the minister’s engagement with traditional authorities to strengthen collaboration in advancing education nationwide.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Iddrisu emphasized that education remains a top government priority, highlighting the importance of access to quality learning opportunities for national development.
He acknowledged the critical role traditional institutions play in mobilizing communities and supporting initiatives that promote literacy, school enrollment, and skills development, especially at the grassroots level.
“This support forms part of our broader effort to ensure that no child is left behind,” the minister said, noting that community-driven initiatives like the Ga Mantse’s Education Fund complement government programs aimed at expanding access to education.
In response, the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, thanked the minister for the donation and pledged the continued support of the Ga Traditional Council for government policies and future initiatives.
