The Ghana Education Service (GES) has sent a
message of congratulations to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, on his 60th birthday.
A statement signed by Mr Joseph Kwabena Onyinah, Ashanti Regional Education Director, said they appreciated the tremendous contribution of the Asantehene to the development of education.
The message said teachers acknowledged the significant push being given to needy but brilliant students in pursuit of academic careers by the Otumfuo Education Fund.
"Added to this is the provision of education infrastructure including classrooms, libraries, teachers' accommodation, provision of potable water and sanitation facilities for schools in deprived communities."
The statement said Otumfuo Osei Tutu's keen interest and drive towards the promotion of education has become a source of inspiration to teachers in the region.
The GES wished the Asantehene, good health and God's continued blessing.
