He identified education as a collective effort of the teachers who inspire, leaders who guide, parents who support, and children who dare to dream.

Mr Brefo also noted that the destinies of nations have often been shaped by nothing more than paper and ink. He explained that when a child opens one of the donated books, they are not only filling pages but also shaping a future full of possibilities.
He further encouraged parents and teachers to ensure the materials are used effectively to spark curiosity and promote a culture of reading and writing at home.
Weighing in, Ogyeahohoo Yaw Gyebi II, the President of the National House of Chiefs and Omanhene of the Sefwi Anhwiaso Traditional Council, expressed gratitude to the MP for responding diligently to the needs of the pupils.
He also appealed to companies, individuals, and other stakeholders to contribute towards improving education in the area. The Municipal Director of Education, Mr Richard Boateng, also commended Mr Brefo’s continuous support for education in the constituency.
