He urged all stakeholders to work together in maintaining the furniture and ensuring that it remains in good condition for years to come.
Mr. Owusu also called for a change in attitudes towards public property, stressing the need for students and teachers to handle state assets with care. He encouraged the school community to treat the desks as valuable resources that contribute to the educational success of the next generation.
