He explained the Bia West District was among six other Districts in the Western North Region to benefit from the GALOP programme.
Mr Blay thanked GALOP programme for the support and said the furniture had come at the right time, since it was Government’s vision to provide conducive environment for teaching and learning in the area.
Mr Thomas Kwofie, Bia West District Director of Education, who received the furniture on behalf of the Education Directorate lauded the government for the furniture.
He, however, appealed for more chairs to be distributed among schools that have inadequate furniture so as to improve upon education in the area.
