The government has been urged to consider providing resources to the Technical universities to provide furniture at a lower cost to basic schools in rural communities to help address the perennial insufficient furniture in those schools in the country.
This, according to the Vice president of National Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations (GFD), Sirina Mahamadu, would significantly reduce the huge cost of procurement of furniture for basic schools.
She was speaking on the backdrop of the current economic challenges facing the country, adding that the innovation would also empower Technical Universities to be more relevant in the country.
Ms Mahamadu made the call at citizen-expectation town hall meetings organised by the CDD-Ghana at Abesim near Sunyani in the Bono Region yesterday.
