The Foundation also donated six teacher writing tables and chairs as well as six maker boards to the school aimed at providing conducive environment and enhancing teaching and learning in the school.
Speaking at a short ceremony, the Executive Director of GNPC Foundation, Dr. Dominic Eduah indicated that the Foundation was providing the support because it recognised education as one of the tools that could be used in individual and societal development.
He reiterated that the donation was to complement efforts by the government in ensuring quality education in the country as government alone could not shoulder all the challenges bedevilling the educational sector.

Mr. Ernest Kodzo Mallet, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for South Dayi in the Volta Region said infrastructure and furniture deficit in schools in the District were challenges the Government and Ghana Education Service (GES) were working towards addressing.
He further stated that the Government and Ministry of Education were determining to ensure that free senior high school was in a conducive environment to make learning effective and advised the students to take good care of the furniture.
