Quality education is the bedrock of societal progress, and I am dedicated to ensuring that students in Tano North receive the best possible learning environment," he added.
Dr Boako reiterated his commitment, along with that of President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Bawumia, to support the development of education in the region, he assured the gathering that he would continue to work closely with the government to address the challenges faced by schools, ensuring that students can learn in a conducive environment.
