ISABT Inspects Projects

The Institute of Art and Business Technology (ISABT) in the US has inspected educational facilities that it donated various items to in the Central region last year to see whether they are being used for their intended purpose.

Some schools inspected in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) municipality included Edinaman Senior High School   and the Elmina Methodist A and B junior high schools which have been adopted by ISBAT and provided with literature books by African and international authors as well as computers.

In an interview with DAILY GUIDE after the inspection, the Director in charge of Electronic Books (e-books), Jonathan Tourzan expressed satisfaction about the way the students have made great use of the books his outfit donated to them.

The objective of ISABT is to improve reading and writing skills in some selected African countries including Ghana.

Clubs and societies have been formed at the beneficiary schools where students are taught how to write their own stories which are published on the organization’s website so that other foreign students would have access to them.

“The core value of ISABT is to support schools in Ghana and other African countries to meet the western educational standard where opportunities are provided to these students to relate and tap their colleagues’ knowledge from other parts of the world,” he added.

According to him, this year his outfit will award scholarships to cater for students in junior and senior high schools who would pass the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) with aggregates between 6 and 12 and the West African Senior Secondary Examinations Certificate (WASSEC).

Mr. Tourzan explained that the scholarship will include full payment of the selected students’ educational expenses from the senior high school through university and called on students to take full advantage of the opportunities offered them.

He noted that through this initiative the NGO had adopted two poor but brilliant students and is paying their school fees.

He also lauded Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah for his wise intent to provide free education in the country which benefited most of Ghana’s current leaders.

Mr. Tourzan reiterated his appeal to the students to take the opportunity ISABT has granted them to study hard and pass their examinations. ISABT he said would give first priority to its club members with regards to the awarding of scholarships, he added.
