Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo has presented past questions to all the 38 public Junior High Schools in her constituency to help the students to prepare themselves well towards the 2021 Basic Education Certificate Examination.
The Lawmaker who doubles as the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), emphatically stressed, they should know that given them the past questions doesn’t mean automatically everything in the textbooks will appear in their final, thus charged them to study very hard to achieve positive results.
“The textbooks include Integrated Science, Social Studies, Religious Moral Education (RME), and English Language and some with the possible answers”. She said the reason why she didn’t add Mathematics to it was that; the teachers from the various schools didn’t accepted the one they got per it content.
She made it clear that, the textbooks are for the schools but not the students. Hon. MP is optimistic that with the help of these textbooks hopefully the students will improve their result in the upcoming exams.

In addition, she appealed to the teachers to handle the books well and help the students developed an attitude that we will enable have peace as Ghanaians.

Moreover, some of the teachers who received the textbooks on behalf of their schools thanked the Hon. MP for her kind gesture and asked God’s blessings upon her life for showing love to the students.
They also asked the parents to helped them trained the students together because they can’t do everything alone.
