The Kwahu West Municipal Director of Education, Mr Noah Dwamena, on Tuesday, urged the private sector and other stakeholders in education to supplement government's efforts to educate children. He said they must help provide the needed infrastructure and logistics to ensure quality education to Ghanaian children to enhance the socio-economic development of the country.

Mr Dwamena said since the government alone cannot provide the nations educational needs, the private sector, churches and other Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) should contribute, to supplement government's efforts to educate the nation's children to eradicate poverty in the society. Mr Dwamena made the call at the PTA meeting of the Saint Anthony Senior High School (SHS), a private second cycle Institution at Nkawkaw-Amanfrom, when he presented a 35-seater bus, valued at GH¢30,000, to the school.
