Speaking to the gathering at the distribution durbar at Ada Foah<\/a><\/strong>,<\/span>\u00a0in the Greater Accra Region, President Mahama insisted it is not enough to just provide school uniforms and text books when many children from poor homes walk bare-footed to school.<\/p>\n He pointed out that if the government is assisting parents with the provision of school uniforms, text books, exercise books, free meals and now, school sandals, it will \u201creduce how much money parents have to take out of their incomes to send all of us to school and that is why government is investing heavily in this social intervention programme.\u201d<\/p>\n On his part, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Laryea Afotey-Agbo thanked the President on behalf of the pupils and promised that the investment government is making in the young people of the area will yield good results.<\/p>\n He encouraged the teachers to give off their best in undertaking their duties.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are so happy and we have nothing to tell the President than to say thank you\u2026 I am very much aware of what our teachers can do because I have been with them for a period. Our teachers should take this opportunity to go all out and teach our children so that we will get good results.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana![\"Samples](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mahama-distributes-free-shoes-21.jpg\")
