WA SCHOOLS HOLD SOCIALISATION MEETING (Page 20)

Story: George Folley Quaye, Wa

A Cluster of schools in Wa in the Upper West Region, which are in an exchange programme with schools in the United Kingdom, have held a socialisation meeting in Wa.
The programme, known as the connecting classrooms project, is a British-sponsored programme, which aims at exchanging curricula of selected schools in sub-Saharan Africa with the United Kingdom.
The programme covers various areas in the schools curricula, including literacy, sports, culture and health.
The partner countries in Africa are Kenya and Ghana.
The cluster of schools taking part in Wa are the Wa Model and the Limanyiri Junior High schools as well as the Wa Methodist School for the Blind.
Addressing the socialisation meeting, the Programme Co-ordinator and Headmaster of the Wa School for the Blind, Mr Sampson Akurugu, gave a detailed history and purpose of the project.
He was also happy about the performance of the schoolchildren, who provided music during the function.
