A 3-unit classroom block has been commissioned for the Abrepo Methodist Junior High School (JHS) in the Kumasi Metropolis.
The project was funded from the Assembly’s Internally Generated Fund (IGF) to provide a conducive environment for teaching and learning for the children of school-going age in the locality.
The Chief Executive of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Mr. Samuel Pyne, said at the commissioning that the project was a demonstration of the Assembly’s quest to improve the standard of education through physical infrastructure towards the realisation of producing quality products to become the future leaders in society.
He challenged teachers to prove to the society that, they were not common, but a guide book to the society by ensuring that, their total contribution was felt in the upbringing and transformation of children.
Mr. Pyne urged the school management, Nananom, parents and the beneficiary students to cultivate the maintenance culture to ensure that the project served the intended purpose to enable the Assembly extend similar facilities to other communities in the Metropolis for the holistic transformation of education.
