The Ahafo-Ano North District Education Directorate has organised a two-day literacy training workshop for 60 lower primary school teachers to update their skills on the use of sounds and phonetic to teach their pupils.
The programme was sponsored by the DFID, and would be held in all the 7 circuit centers of the district in two weeks, to enable all lower primary school teachers benefit from it.
The participants were taken through topics like language literacy – the 3 modes, and attributes of letters.
The District Director of Education, Mrs. Victoria Achiaah Osei, said the two-day literacy training workshop would enable school children understand how to read and write.
She appealed to teachers to take their lessons seriously to enable them impart the knowledge acquired to the children.
Mrs. Achiaah Osei also appealed to parents to invest in their children’s education to enable them become very useful citizens.
She announced that the District Assembly would soon come out with bye-laws to deal with children who refuse to attend school and engage in trading.
