As part of the measures put in place by the NPP led government to improve the standard of education in the country, the Techiman South Metropolitan Mayor, Hon. Benjamin Yaw Gyarko, on behalf of the Member of Parliament for Techiman South, Hon. Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, has commissioned a state-of-the-art 2-unit classroom block with ancillary facilities for Nsuta St. Paul’s Kindergarten.
The newly commissioned classroom block, is set to provide a spacious and conducive learning environment for the young learners which in turn will improve their overall educational experience.
The Mayor, in his remarks, emphasized the importance of quality education and the need to provide the necessary infrastructure to support it. He said the NPP led government prioritize the education of all Ghanaians hence the implementation of the Free SHS policy and construction of numerous educational facilities to augment education in the country.
“The aim of the NPP led government, is to ensure that every Ghanaian child gets access to quality education without distance or money becoming a barrier, that is why the government has introduced the Free SHS policy.
“Although I don’t have the number of schools that the government under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has built and commissioned in Techiman, but since I became the MCE, we have commissioned over 39 schools across the various communities in Techiman within the last four years.” He said.
Hon. Benjamin Yaw Gyarko further disclosed that, inadequate infrastructure has been one of the major challenges in the education sector and as such, his government have been constructing classroom block in the Techiman South Metropolitan Assembly to deal with the challenge.
“We realized that infrastructure was the main challenging facing schools in Techiman, so Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo through Hon. Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, and former Member of Parliament, Hon. Boakye Yiadom, have constructed a lot of schools to deal with the over population in our schools.
“I have been in Nsuta for more than four times so far as the commission of schools is concerned, the KG block is well furnished, we have installed marker boards in each of the classrooms, their is a bathroom and toilet in the school, including a kitchen, dinning hall, head teachers office and staff common room.
“So you can see that this is a modern KG block which is spacious enough to provide comfort for our children when they come to learn.” He said.
The Chief of Nsuta, Nana Owusu Ameyaw II, thanked the Member of Parliament for Techiman South, Hon. Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah and the NPP government for their immense developmental projects in Nsuta.
“We are grateful to Sompahene and the NPP government for what they have been doing in Nsuta, as I said earlier, this is not the first time the NPP government through Hon. Martin is doing something of this kind in our community.” He said.
Nana Owusu Ameyaw II, said although the NPP have been losing elections at Nsuta, he hopes the narrative changes in this year’s elections due to the good works of the government.
“It is true that the NPP always lose the vote in Nsuta, as a chief, I shouldn’t be doing politics but the truth is that Dr. Bawumia is capable of leading our country and he is the one who can take us to the promised land.
“So I will plead with my people to vote for Dr. Bawumia so they can continue with the developmental projects in Nsuta.” He said.
Nana continued, “We are grateful for the school but there are some pity things that needs to be done in the school, so I will plead with you to come back and finish it for us.”
The head teacher of the school, Mr. John Kwasi Korankye, in an interview with the media said, “we have been praying since 2013 to get a classroom block for our learners, so we are very happy today because our prayers have been answered.
“For teaching and learning to be effective, there are a lot of factors that needs to be considered which includes infrastructures, money, and documentation, so on behalf of my staff and the people of Nsuta, I say a very thank you to Nana Akufo-Addo’s government.
“The school has been benefiting from the school feeding program since 2017, the school is part of the various basic schools in the country that is benefiting from the Ghana Accountability for Learning Outcomes Project (GALOP), so in terms of money and infrastructure, the NPP led government.”
Mr. John Kwasi Korankye on behalf of the school, promised to put the facility into good use to ensure the improvement of education in the school and the Techiman Metropolis at large.
