President John Mahama has handed over 10,000 school sandals to the Education Ministry for onward distribution to pupils in deprived communities.
The exercise which took place at Ada Foah RC Primary in the Greater Accra region is in fulfilment of a promise he made in May 2014 during a familiarization tour to the factory at Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
The school sandals were produced by the Defense Industry Holding Company; a shoe Factory owned by the Ghana Armed Forces.
Government has already began supplying free school uniforms to school children in deprived communities and according to the President, the additional supply of free sandals distribution will encourage parents to send their wards to school.
