In a move aimed at motivating academic excellence and supporting the educational aspirations of young learners, the Chief Executive Officer of the Kofi Adade Foundation, Kofi Adade, has announced a special reward package for outstanding candidates who will excel in the upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Under the initiative, candidates who achieve aggregates ranging from six ones (6) to ten ones (10) will receive trunks, chalk-box kits, and school prospectuses to support their transition into senior high school.
The intervention targets candidates from Adum Kwanwoma and Aboabo-Kesse in the Atwima Kwanwoma Municipality, as well as Abrepo in the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.
Initiative to Promote Academic Excellence
Speaking to journalists after touring several schools within the beneficiary communities, Hon. Kofi Adade explained that the initiative forms part of the foundation’s broader commitment to promoting quality education and encouraging academic excellence among young people.
According to him, many brilliant students often face challenges when preparing to enter senior high school, particularly in acquiring essential items required for boarding school life. The reward package, he noted, is designed to ease that burden while simultaneously motivating candidates to work harder toward achieving excellent results.
“We believe that recognizing and rewarding excellence is one of the most effective ways to motivate students. When young people know their hard work will be appreciated, they become more determined to succeed,” Hon. Adade stated.
He added that the program seeks to raise academic standards within schools in the Atwima Kwanwoma area and its surrounding communities, while encouraging healthy competition among candidates preparing for the BECE.
Encouragement Tour for Candidates
During his visit to various schools, Hon. Adade interacted with candidates preparing to sit for the national examination. He encouraged them to remain focused on their studies, maintain discipline, and believe in their ability to achieve outstanding results.
He emphasized that education remains one of the most powerful tools for transforming lives and communities, urging students to take their studies seriously as they prepare for the important examination that determines their placement into senior high schools.
Teachers and school administrators who witnessed the visit commended the foundation for the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention that will inspire students to aim higher in their academic pursuits.
Commitment to Community Development
The Kofi Adade Foundation has been involved in a number of social interventions aimed at supporting education, youth empowerment, and community development. Hon. Adade noted that investing in education remains a key pillar of the foundation’s activities.
He stressed that the foundation will continue to introduce programs that encourage young people to pursue excellence and become responsible future leaders.
“Our goal is to ensure that no brilliant student is discouraged from excelling due to lack of motivation or support,” he added.
How to Access the Support
Students, parents, and school authorities seeking further information about the initiative can contact Hon. Kofi Adade directly on 0243176589 for additional details regarding eligibility and the distribution of the reward packages.
Education stakeholders within the beneficiary communities have expressed optimism that the initiative will boost morale among BECE candidates and help nurture a culture of academic excellence in schools across the municipality.
