The Union for the Republic (UNIR) party officials from Tchamba prefecture donated educational materials to the Centre de Formation Technique et Professionnelle (CFTP) and the Collège Scientifique de Tchamba on November 2. The donation included sewing machines, wheelbarrows, measuring tapes, A4 paper, geometric sets, markers, computers, printers, electrical kits, and various construction tools. This initiative aims to improve the quality of education in these institutions. The handover ceremony was attended by local authorities and education officials.
The donated materials comprise a range of essential equipment for both technical and scientific education. The sewing machines, for instance, will benefit students in vocational training, while the computers and printers will enhance the learning experience in the scientific college. Additionally, the construction tools will support practical training in areas like masonry and electrical work. By providing these resources, the UNIR party seeks to create a more conducive learning environment for students.
During the ceremony, Gouverneur Affoh Atcha Dedji and other donors emphasized the importance of discipline, attendance, and diligence in ensuring quality education. They encouraged students to make the most of the donated materials and to strive for excellence in their studies. The event was also attended by Minister of Higher Education and Research, Gado Tchangbedji, and Deputy Assouma Dermane, who highlighted the significance of this initiative in aligning with the government's 2026-2031 roadmap.
The government's roadmap, program 10, focuses on developing a productive human capital, and this donation is a step in that direction. President Faure Gnassingbé's decision to establish scientific colleges and lycees nationwide is part of this effort. By providing quality education, the government aims to equip future generations with the skills and knowledge necessary to drive national development.
Abdermane Amadou, Director of Regional Education for the Centre, praised the UNIR party's initiative, which aligns with the country's educational policy. He assured that the donated materials would be put to good use for the benefit of current and future students. The ceremony concluded with a visit to the scientific college and the CFTP in Tchamba, allowing officials to inspect the facilities and interact with students.
The donation is expected to have a positive impact on the quality of education in Tchamba. By providing students with modern equipment and resources, the UNIR party's initiative will help bridge the gap in educational infrastructure. This, in turn, will enable students to acquire practical skills and theoretical knowledge, preparing them for the workforce and future academic pursuits.
The event demonstrates the collaborative efforts between government officials, education authorities, and local stakeholders to improve education in Togo. The UNIR party's donation is a testament to the commitment to enhancing educational outcomes and creating opportunities for students in Tchamba and beyond.
