Ghanaian actress Clara Amoateng Benson popularly known in the showbiz world as Maame Serwaa has stated that she will encourage girl-child education in Ghana to engender women empowerment.
According to her, girl-child education was one of her priorities and she was going to support female students who excel in JHS and SHS to further their education.
She observed that a lot of parents did not encourage their female children to have formal education, a factor that led to teenage pregnancy.
“Girl-child education is my priority and we will ensure that all the girls benefit from the free senior high school programme that will begin in September so we are calling on all cooperate bodies to come to our Aid and make it successful” she stated.
