W/R:Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe Boosts Education and Youth Employment in Amenfi Central

Image
Honourable Joana Gyan Cudjoe, Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central in the Western Region, has taken bold steps to improve education in her constituency by employing thirty-five community teachers to support twenty-eight basic schools. In an interview, she explained that the initiative began in 2013, even before she became an MP, when she piloted it with a basic school at Manukrom.
