I took it upon myself to provide 30 sewing machines for practical training. Additionally, I recognized the need for dual desks to enhance the learning environment. I reached out to Middle-Belt, and they generously donated desks to support the school’s teaching and learning activities.”
According to Michael Kwasi Aidoo, ‘The exceptional performance of the headmaster, teachers, and students merits support for the school’s growth beyond its current boundaries.
