The Greater Accra Regional Director of Education, Stephen Abamfo, has underscored the importance of creating an environment in our communities that fosters a culture of reading among students in schools.

Speaking at the 2nd National Reading Festival in Accra on Thursday, November 14, 2024, Abamfo emphasised the importance of reading for children's learning development, noting that it helps unlock a wealth of knowledge and fosters imagination.

According to him, the goal of the National Reading Festival is to inspire children to discover and access the knowledge hidden within books. "This festival is not just about promoting literacy.

It's about encouraging our children to dig deep and uncover those hidden treasures within books.
