Students in five communities that constitute Nakolo, a suburb of Paga, in the Kasena-Nankana West district have taken it upon themselves to organize extra classes for Junior High School pupils during holidays, to help reduce the rate of failures by children in the community at the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE).
At a maiden students’ homecoming durbar involving chiefs and people of the area, funds were mobilized in support of the construction of a modern library and ICT facility to help raise the standards of basic education in the community.
The lack of educational amenities in Paga-Nakolo which is a deprived community has been attributed to the falling standards of education in the community. This has led to appalling performances by students in Nakolo in their Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) over the years.
In order to change trend for the better, President of the Nakolo Students Union, Anthony Adatu Kaba, at the maiden students’ homecoming durbar, called for the support of government, Non-Governmental Organisation and individuals in the community for the construction of a modern library and ICT facility in the area.
Member of Parliament for the Chiana-Paga Constituency, Abuga Pele who was the guest of honor for the durbar pledged to donate five computers to compliment the efforts of the Nakolo Students Union to help improve the quality of education in the area, especially in the area of ICT.
