Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, has pledged to establish three scholarships at Fachi Little Flower School Complex in Tamale.
These scholarships will be awarded to the Best Science Student, the Best Student in Languages, and orphans at the school.
Mr. Iddrisu made this announcement during the 30th-anniversary celebration of the Fachi Little Flower School Complex, which had the theme: “30 Years of Quality Holistic Education in Northern Ghana: Prospects and Challenges.” The event aimed to highlight the school’s accomplishments over the years and recognize its significant growth.
Mr. Iddrisu commended the school’s management for their dedication to providing quality education and called on education stakeholders, including parents, to support the provision of quality training for children in the Northern Region.
Mrs. Dame Anna-Maria Fati Paul, the Managing Director of Fachi Little Flower School Complex, shared the school’s history, noting that it was established in February 1993 with just three girls under a Nim tree in her house.
The school has since grown to have a student population of 1,092, consisting of 553 girls and 539 boys.
She also mentioned a special scholarship package for students who lose their parents while in school, which covers their education until they complete Junior High School.
Hajia Katumi Natogmah Attah, the Northern Regional Director of Education, urged stakeholders to embrace modern teaching methods, integrate technology into classrooms, and promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills in schools.
