The MP for Kumawu in Ashanti region, Ernest Yaw Anim has disclosed that, he is planning to procure tricycles (pragyia) to convey students in rural communities in the constituency to and from school every day.
This, he believes will help reduce absenteeism among the students and also encourage parents to send their children to school at their tender age.
Mr Ernest Yaw Anim made this known during the 2025 Kumawu MP Teachers’ Awards ceremony held at Kumawu under the theme “Motivating the Teacher; The Tool for Educational Transformation”.
The Overall Best Teacher received a Refrigerator while a teacher in one of the hard to reach communities was given a Motorbike.
The MP said he will take steps to fix most of the bad roads leading to rural communities in the constituency to make movement easy for the people.
