The Educational Workers Guild of The Church of Pentecost in the Kronum District of the Suame Area has organised free vacation classes for Senior High School (SHS) Form One students, marking the first initiative of its kind in the district since the establishment of the guild.
The two-month programme, which began on January 5, 2026, was initiated by the District Workers Guild Coordinator, Elder Shadrach K. Asare, and his executives with the support of the District Pastor, Rev. Joshua Kingsley Mensah. Funds for the initiative were raised during the District Presbytery Meeting to support publicity and the purchase of teaching materials such as marker boards, markers, dusters, registers, and other learning supplies.
The tuition-free classes started with 12 students on the first day but gradually grew to a total of 122 students from various Senior High Schools across the Greater Kumasi area.
The programme, which was open to the public, attracted students from diverse religious backgrounds. Of the total number, 70 were members of The Church of Pentecost (both within and outside the district), 48 were from other Christian denominations, and five were Muslims. Students came from churches including Assemblies of God, Church of God, Bible Baptist Church, Christ Memorial Church, Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church, Deeper Life, and Jehovah’s Witness.
The classes which were facilitated by officer of the church within district, focused on core subjects such as English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science, and Social Studies. Seven teachers within the district who teach in various Senior High Schools volunteered their services and delivered lessons based on the Ghana Education Service curriculum.
The programme also received visits from the Area Workers’ Guild Coordinator, Ps. Koda Plange, the Area Schools Outreach Ministry Coordinator, Ps. Joseph Domfeh Owusu-Ansah, and Elder Samuel Antwi, who shared the Word of God with the students. As a result, ten students gave their lives to Christ.
The classes ended on March 5, 2026, with the organisers expressing gratitude to God and hoping to expand the initiative in the coming years.
