The First Lady of the Republic, H.E. Mrs. Rebecca Naa Okaikor Akufo-Addo has cut sod for the construction of a forty seater computerized library facility and ICT center for the school children at Bortianor in my constituency.
Mrs Akuffo Addo who is also the Executive director of the Rebecca Foundation, at the function identified reading as the sure panacea to enhancing the quality of education and deepening the intellect of the youth.
According to her, a people with high literacy skills are better positioned to expedite the development of a country and meet its challenges, stating, “a literate population and communities are in a far better position to develop and innovate than less literate societies”.
The library, which will be stocked with modern computers and books on different subjects is expected to serve as an attractive and welcoming environment for the youth to develop the habit and delight in reading.
Harping on the importance of reading and its many benefits Mrs. Akufo-Addo said in a growing competitive world where life-long learning has become the only way to grow intellectually and build a wealth of knowledge, many children in sub-Saharan Africa struggle at the lower primary level to read in the official or any local language and in instances where they can read, they are unable to understand what they read.
Mrs. Akufo-Addo stated that it is this plethora of benefits inherent in the ability and habit of reading that informed the Rebecca Foundation to come up with the “Learning to Read, Reading to Learn” initiative, a two part concept made up of a television reading programme, now in its second season, and provision of much needed libraries in some clusters of school across the country.
She has appealed to everyone to consider the developmental projects her husband has done in the constituency and vote massively for Nana Addo and myself to retain power to do more for you all.
