The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has donated GH₵100,000 to the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II’s Education Fund to support the academic development of children and youth within the Ga State.
The Education Fund is expected to provide scholarships, learning materials, and other forms of academic support to students from vulnerable backgrounds in the Greater Accra Region.
The donation was made during a courtesy call on the Ga Traditional Council on Monday, January 26, 2026, as part of the minister’s engagement with traditional authorities to strengthen partnerships in advancing education across the country.
Speaking at the event, Haruna Iddrisu said investing in education remains a top priority for the government, stressing that access to quality learning opportunities is essential for national development.
He noted that traditional institutions play a critical role in mobilising communities and supporting policies aimed at improving literacy, school enrolment, and skills development, especially at the grassroots level.
“This support is part of our broader effort to ensure that no child is left behind,” the minister said, adding that community-based initiatives such as the Ga Mantse’s Education Fund complement government programmes in expanding access to education.
In response, the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, expressed gratitude to the minister for the donation. He pledged the continued support of the Ga Traditional Council for government initiatives and future endeavours.
