Final-year students reading Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) Management have donated some educational materials to Kwaprow Junior High School to enhance the academic performance of learners.
The items, which included five whiteboards, two graph boards, four boxes of markers, and four packs of dusters, were meant to augment the effort of parents in providing the academic needs of their children.
The gesture forms part of the semester course, “Project Management”.

Presenting the items on behalf of the students, a lecturer at the Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management, Dr. Eric Gonu, said the initiative was borne out of the project management course aimed at enhancing the students' understanding of project management concepts while putting into practice the concept learned. This will contribute positively to the growth of the community.
He said though the educational materials were inadequate to cater for the huge number of learners in the school, Dr. Gonu expressed the hope that the gesture would go a long way in enhancing the quality of learning in there.
He encouraged the students to take their studies seriously to climb the academic ladder.

Receiving the items on behalf of the pupils, the Headmistress of the school, Mrs. Victoria Mensah, commended the effort of the final-year students and promised the learners would make good use of the items.
She recounted how donations from students and faculty from the University of Cape Coast had benefited the school and relieved it from a lot of recurring expenditures.
