Samuel Korley Foundation Donates Mathematical Sets To B.E.C.E Candidates In Greater Accra



Samuel Korley, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), on Friday 12th November, 2021 donated mathematical sets to all registered 2021 Basic Education Certificate Examination (B.E.C.E) candidates in Aim school complex and Pauline school complex all in Kpon-Katamanso  municipality in the Greater Accra Region.


The mentioned schools has a total number of 80 registered candidates for the 2021 B.E.C.E.

Presenting the items to the schools, the Executive Director of Samuel Korley foundation, Mr. Samuel Korley recounted his experience when he sat in for the B.E.C.E some years ago and this motivated the foundation to embark on this generous gesture.

Mr. Samuel Korley again said the rationale behind the presentation was to assist candidates to pass the exam with ease.

He said, the donation of Mathematical Sets became necessary looking at the current health dangers associated with sharing of items and body contacts as a result of COVID-19 and examination rules and regulations.

Due to this, Samuel Korley Foundation deemed it fit to come to the aid of all BECE 2022 candidates in the above mentioned schools with this important instrument needed for the examination.”

The foundation also promised one candidate of Aim school complex who do not have school uniform to write the exams a new uniform before the exams begin.

Mr. Korley also urged the students to desist from all forms of examination malpractices, and rely more on what they have been taught in school.


Photages of pupil receiving the items






Receiving the items,  the headteachers of Aim school complex , Mr. Emmanuel Oduro, expressed his profound appreciation for the wonderful intervention of the NGO.


According to Mr. Oduro “mathematical sets is one of the great instrument students need when it comes to mathematics. It is very prudent for every basic school student to own a mathematical set and learn how to use it even before their final exams. It is rather unfortunate that most of our students can’t afford this instrument.”

He also stated that this has really come at the right time and will serve a very good purpose.


On behalf of the 2021 BECE Candidates, Madam  Irene  of Pauline school complex , sent forth her gratitude. “We are very grateful to Samuel Korley Foundation, May God bless their work.” She added “It’s not all of my pupil who can afford to buy a math set, 


Notably, this is not the first donation exercise Samuel Korley Foundation has embarked on, they donated some assorted items such as non alcoholic beverages, rice, cooking oil, computers, clothes, shoes etc. to some aged and needy people in Twifo Ati-Morkwa District of Central Region during the Easter festivity in the year 2021.


The 2021 BECE examination is scheduled to begin on Monday, 15 November 2021, and will end on Friday, November 19, 2021.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.

Parents and residents in and around the community are appealing for urgent assistance due to the deteriorating condition of their classroom blocks .  The school's infrastructure has become unsafe, forcing pupils to learn under dire circumstances.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...
