“The Education Directorate has collected data on all schools with furniture challenges in the district and we have realized that we will need over 5,000 desks to be shared among the schools,” he said.
He called on stakeholders, NGOs and philanthropists to come and support the Assembly to deal with the furniture challenges in the schools.
“We have finished the modern market which when commissioned will generate income to help us deal with the desk issues. I want to plead with all who have the mandate to come on board to support,” he said.
