The Teshie Krobo Basic School came alive with colour, celebration, and inspiration as the school held its much-anticipated Speech and Prize Giving Day at its premises on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. The event, which drew dignitaries from all walks of life, was marked by a heartfelt appreciation of the Honourable Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku, Hon. Benjamin Narteh Ayiku, for his outstanding contributions to the development of the school.
The ceremony was graced by Assembly Members (both current and former), former Heads of the School, executives of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), officials from the Ghana Education Service, leaders from the Nii Jorn Presbyterian Church, community opinion leaders, the media, and a host of enthusiastic parents and guardians.

He lauded the hard work of the Headteacher, teaching staff, and the entire management of the school for their unwavering commitment to nurturing the minds of the future generation.
“Education is the most powerful tool we have to build the Ghana we all dream of,” the MP declared. “To the pupils — dream big, stay curious, and never give up. The leaders of tomorrow are seated here today.”
Hon. Ayiku also encouraged students who received awards to strive for greater heights, while motivating those who didn’t win to keep working hard, assuring them that their time would come. He reaffirmed his office’s commitment to improving educational infrastructure and creating a conducive environment for learning across the Ledzokuku Constituency.
