The Asuogyaman District Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) is worried over “insane upsurge” in teenage pregnancy at Anchiase, a farming community in the district.
At least 12 female pupils got impregnated in 2018 in the District and have since stopped schooling.
The situation has been partly blamed on high poverty rate among inhabitants who are unable to provide basic needs of their children including food.
In a desperate effort to find food, these school children fall prey to sexual predators.
Majority of the basic school pupils in Anchiansa community can neither read nor write and in order to reverse that trend, Mr. Addo as a native of Anchianse Community is working hard to solicit support for the construction of a library in the community.
Mr. Nte who is also the CEO of Muzuu Farms on his part provided special packages of educational materials to school pupils still persevering in their education in the community.
