Akrong Publications, a local book publishing company, on Friday donated 1,000 exercise books to St. Faustina R.C. Basic School at American Farm, a suburb of Ngleshie Amanfro in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n

The gesture, part of the company\u2019s corporate social responsibility, aims to support teaching and learning and ease the financial burden on parents ahead of the September school reopening.<\/p>\n

The donation followed a request by the former Assembly Member for Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro Electoral Area, Mr. Thomas Kwakye Mensah, to the founder of Akrong Publications, Dr. Christian Akrong Hesse. It marks the beginning of a partnership that will see Akrong Publications provide more learning materials to the school over time.<\/p>\n

Established in 2019, St. Faustina R.C. Basic School has grown from a handful of pupils to 773 students, making it one of the most sought-after public schools in the municipality. However, it still faces challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and a dusty compound that needs improvement.<\/p>\n

Presenting the books on behalf of Dr. Hesse, Evangelist Jude Tetteh emphasized the importance of education, stating that quality education requires collective effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis donation demonstrates Akrong Publications\u2019 commitment to supporting education and community development in Ghana,\u201d he said. \u201cSuch initiatives can significantly impact students\u2019 learning experiences, enabling them to reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Headteacher Mr. Eric Gasper Afeletey expressed gratitude for the support, describing it as timely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe donation has come at the right time, just before school reopening. It will benefit many children whose parents cannot afford books,\u201d he said, while also appealing for community support to improve the school\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Dr. Christian Akrong Hesse, a Professor of Statistics and former Dean of the Faculty of Science at Methodist University College, is renowned for his contributions to mathematics education. His \u201cAkrong Series,\u201d approved by the Ghana Education Service, is widely used in junior and senior high schools across the country.<\/p>\n
