Tema-Ghana, May 30, CDA Consult – Tema Community 8 Junior High School (Number 3) has received educational material from the Tema Bench, Bar, and Prosecution Court Unit (TBBPCU).
The donation forms part of TBBPCU’s outreach project to educate children on professional paths.
Madam Dina Amoah, Headmistress of the school who received the items expressed gratitude to TBBPCU for the gifts and for sharing their experiences with the students.
She called on other professionals to emulate and share professional experiences with the children in their communities to encourage the young ones to work hard academically.
TBBPCU has set up a Public Schools Outreach project which aimed to encourage schoolchildren to take their studies seriously, avoid social vices like as illegal drugs and fraudulent practises, and instead seek to become the responsible professionals they wish while remaining focused.
To enable the mitigation of the problems that disrupt their education, around 195 youngsters who participated in the events were given materials such as pencils, mathematics sets, practise books, and sanitary towels.
The group pushed the children to pursue a profession in law or legal development so that they could grasp the laws since a nation cannot be formed without concern for the laws that govern it.
Mr. Winston Hayford, a lawyer and the Registrar of the Tema Circuit Court, described the TBBPCU Public Schools Outreach programme as an initiative aimed at assisting students in public schools in setting higher goals for themselves, knowing that they are attainable.
He stated that the unit thought such an endeavour was highly important, especially in this day and age when youngsters are exposed to a variety of unpleasant things that distract them from focusing on their studies and, eventually, accomplishing their ambitions.
“Our main targets are pupils from public schools who are not as fortunate as their counterparts in other private schools, and the mission schools are designed to bring these children up close and personal with members of distinguished professions so that the children can take inspiration from them,” he stated.
He stated that the project began in March, and that since then, they have visited a number of public schools, where some of the judges, lawyers, and police prosecutors have met with the youngsters.
He stated that they received favourable response from both the children and the school administration, who voiced their conviction that the foundations of the children’s dreams had been strengthened in order for them to assume their positions and other influential ones around the country in the near future.
As a result, he urged well-meaning Ghanaians, all other players in the education system, as well as corporations, organisations, and other bodies with a similar vision, to help the scheme in any manner they could, whether in cash or in kind.
