Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, has inaugurated a standard, fully-furnished kindergarten block at Aveyime in his Constituency, bringing the total number of KG projects spearheaded by the MP in recent years to 20.
The project, according to Mr Ablakwa, forms part of the GH¢1 million spent this year on his education improvement initiative in the North Tongu District.
The Aveyime D/A Methodist KG/Primary, established in 1910, is one of the oldest basic schools in North Tongu and despite its long history, the school has operated only a six-unit classroom block for years.
Both the primary and kindergarten classes have been housed in a single makeshift structure, consequently making teaching and learning very challenging.
The current enrolment of the school stands at 467, creating overcrowding in some classrooms, and to create a conducive environment for young learners at the kindergarten level, the MP, who is also the Minister for Foreign Affairs constructed and furnished the new kindergarten block for the Aveyime D/A Methodist KG/Primary School.
The new facility has a 100-capacity classroom with teachers’ offices, a kitchen, washrooms, a storeroom, water reservoirs (poly tanks) and a playground.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa underscored the need to achieving full integration to boosting education in the area, promising further of his unabated support and investment in the development of education in the district, considering the immense benefits of an educated society.
He mentioned some ongoing projects and educational support programmes in the district, including scholarships worth GH¢145,000.00 awarded to tertiary students.
The Head teacher of the school, Essau Gafleku, after lauding the MP for his kindness, appealed for the provision of computers to support the teaching and learning of ICT.
The District Chief Executive, Victoria Doe, said the new educational facility would improve teaching and learning at the basic level.
