The Axim Kundum Festival Planning Committee Chairman, Nana Nkwantabisa while receiving the drinks and cash donation from Quantum expressed the appreciation of the chiefs and people to Quantum for the sponsorship package. He was hopeful that the generous gesture by Quantum will mark the beginning of a lasting and cordial relationship between the company and Nzema’s.
Meanwhile, as part of its Education Improvement Programme for the catchment communities, Quantum Terminal has organized a free mock examination for all candidates in the Atuabo circuit to prepare them for the upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination, BECE, slated for October 2022. In all, 300 students from 10 schools, comprising both private and public schools within the Atuabo circuit sat for the mock exam at the Eikwe and Atuabo centres. Quantum as part of the arrangement also motivated teachers to supervise the exams and mark the papers.
The Corporate Social Responsibility Coordinator at Quantum, Vincent Amihere, charged the students to take the mock exam seriously to enable them pass well in the main BECE exam in order to become beneficiaries of the free Senior High School Programme.
Quantum which operates a terminal at Anokyi in the Ellembelle District will also be providing feeding support during the BECE, distribution of mathematical sets and transportation to and from the exam centre for all candidates.
The Quantum free mock and exam support began in 2018 as a means to give the students exposure and the confidence needed during the BECE exam.
