Ms. Kafui Mary Ahlijah, Director of Education - Ekumfi District 

The District Director of Education for Ekumfi, Ms. Kafui Mary Ahlijah, has called on all stakeholders including traditional leaders, parents, and community members to unite in supporting the advancement of education in the district.

Addressing participants at the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of new boarding facilities and other projects at John Evans Atta-Mills Senior High School, Ms. Ahlijah described the initiative as “a joy to all,” emphasising that such collaborative efforts reflect a strong shared vision for the district’s educational growth.

She noted that the new facilities would significantly ease the financial burden on parents who currently spend heavily on accommodation, transportation, and feeding for their children.

Ms. Kafui also appealed to GETFund to expedite the completion of the project to ensure that the school benefits from the improved infrastructure within the stipulated timeframe.

She seized the opportunity to extend an invitation to traditional authorities and community members to attend the school’s upcoming 10th Anniversary Celebration on 29th November 2025, promising a memorable occasion that will highlight the school’s progress and achievements.

In her closing remarks, she said, “Education is shining in Ekumfi,” attributing this to the collective commitment of stakeholders. She also cited the district’s outstanding performance at the 4th Regional Reading Festival in Cape Coast as proof of educational progress and urged everyone to continue supporting the cause both financially and morally.
