Kumawu MP Unveils Plan to Provide Free Transport for Students in Rural Areas

The Member of Parliament for Kumawu, Ernest Yaw Anim, has announced an exciting initiative to provide free daily transport for students in hard-to-reach communities within his constituency. This innovative plan involves procuring tricycles, also known as pragyia, to convey students to and from school every day. The goal is to reduce absenteeism and encourage parents to send their children to school at a young age.

During the 2025 Kumawu MP Teachers’ Awards ceremony, Hon. Ernest Yaw Anim shared his vision, which aims to improve access to education for students in rural areas. The ceremony, held under the theme “Motivating the Teacher; The Tool for Educational Transformation,” saw the Overall Best Teacher receive a refrigerator, while a teacher in one of the hard-to-reach communities was awarded a motorbike.

In addition to providing free transport, Hon. Yaw Anim plans to fix the bad roads leading to rural communities, making it easier for people to move around. He also emphasized the importance of teachers in the district taking steps to discourage students from playing video games and loitering on the streets late at night.

The Kumawu District Education Director, Mr. Kwame Oduro Owusu, encouraged teachers who did not receive awards this year to work hard and strive for recognition in the coming years. The Overall Best Teacher, Paulina Afia Ago, called on the authorities to post more teachers to the district to support the educational needs of the community.
