AngloGold Ashanti cuts sod for construction of examination printing center in Obuasi

AngloGold Ashanti Ghana, Obuasi Mine has once again demonstrated its commitment to educational improvement in Obuasi by cutting sod for the construction of an ultra-modern examination printing center in the Obuasi East District in the Ashanti Region.

The purpose of the project, according to Senior Manager Sustainability Emmanuel Baidoo, is to contribute to improving Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) pass rates in their host communities under its 10-year Socio-Economic Development Plan, launched in 2022.

Baidoo said that when completed, the newly established Examination Printing Centre will play a pivotal role in assisting the Education Directorate of the Obuasi East District Assembly with the necessary resources to print and administer mock examination materials to help better prepare candidates for the BECE.

He emphasized that establishing an Examination Printing Centre aligns with AGAG’s broader community investment goals under the 10-year socio-economic development plan, which focuses on various initiatives aimed at enhancing education, promoting sustainability, and fostering socio-economic development.

We decided that building an examination printing centre was the most prudent way to sustain the mock exams,” he said.

The DCE assured that her office will see to it that the examination printing centre will serve the purpose for which it was established.

He explained that the project will consist of a storage area, office, production and printing area, as well as a borehole.
