Introduction                                                                                                             

The increasing concerns for sustainable quality education in the Akim West Constituency and the recent developments in the educational sector in Ghana has challenged EAA Initiative, a non-government organisation known for its mentorship programmes to collaborate with the chief and elders of Bunso, sub of Asemankese in the Eastern Region of Ghana and other major stake holders to organise its second educational mentoring program for students. Education within this constituency has been on the low with little or no motivation to school. And the few students that school have little to show for it since they do not make the best of grades and do not also further their education as a result of several other factors.    

Program Overview

The Educational mentoring program is one of the educational support activities of the Enoch Andoh Antwi initiative, usually referred to as EAA initiative. The program is aimed at educating parents on the essence and benefits of investing in the education of their wards, and also educating and inspiring the students to appreciate and develop love for education. The program also provides the opportunity for speakers to share practical experiences with the students to psych and prepare them for holistic education. Finally, in the program outline, students receive educational support materials from the EAA initiative to aid them learn effectively and write and pass their first step professional exams (BECE).  The maiden edition was held last year on the 25th of May, 2018 at Bunso at the Christ Apostolic Church Auditorium. The program was hugely successful and impactful. After the program, first in the history of the schools involved, 2 students obtained excellent grades. The 2019 edition is also scheduled to be held on same date and same venue.
