“The pupils cannot read and this is quite worrying. It’s impacting negatively on their performance in Basic Education Certificate Examination(BECE) but we believe things will turn out well now,” he said.
Mr Havor who represented the Education Director, Godwin Amelor at the ceremony also appealed to International Needs to consider giving extra training to teachers in English, Mathematics and Science to help improve on the performance of pupils in the BECE.
Meanwhile, the Executive Director of International Needs, Cromwell Awadey was optimistic about 400 pupils will benefit .
He urged the more the child reads, the more vocabularies he or she will form which is a foundation for improved performance among the children.
