The Akrofuom District Chief Executive (DCE) and Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency have jointly commissioned two classroom blocks for the Nkoransa and Takyikrom communities.
The 3-unit classroom block at Nkoransa will serve as a Kindergarten (KG) block and accommodate over 100 pupils in the school, while the 3-unit classroom block at Takyikrom would serve as a Junior High School (JHS) block for the school.
Mr. Maurice Jonas Woode, District Chief Executive (DCE), disclosed that, the project formed part of the Assembly’s effort to improve educational outcomes in the district, which had been lagging behind in terms of infrastructural development.
Speaking at separate events to commission the 3-unit classroom blocks for the Nkoransa and Takyikrom communities, the DCE stated that, after realising the district lagged behind in educational infrastructure, he teamed up with the Member of Parliament for the area to find possible solutions to the situation.
Mr. Woode challenged parents to complement the efforts of the government and teachers by playing their part in providing the basic needs and support to their children.
He charged the school authorities to maintain the projects to stand the test of time.
Mr. Alexander Blankson, Member of Parliament (MP) for the Akrofuom Constituency, expressed his commitment to providing a conducive environment for schools to improve teaching and learning in the area.
He indicated that, he was ready to leverage education to develop the human resource base of the district to ensure total development.
Mr. George Sarfo Kantanka, District Director of Education, reiterated the concerns of the infrastructural gaps that existed when the Assembly was initially created.
He lauded the District Chief Executive and the Member of Parliament for making efforts to bridge the infrastructural gaps.
He disclosed that, the DCE, MP and the Education Directorate have teamed up by coming up with a clear cut plan to solve the problems in the sector.
The Education Director affirmed that, Education is doing well in the district in the last twelve years as it experiences the commissioning of new school blocks every three months since the district was curved out from other districts the past 12 years.
