NORTHERN REGION GETS FACE LIFT IN EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURAL

Reported cases of pupil sitting under trees to learn in some parts of the northern region will soon be a thing of the past because of the passion the Ministry of Education has attached to the expansion of school infrastructure in deprived communities of the north.
The Education Ministry as part of its forward march to solve the problems has awarded on contract 2 unit six classroom block, KVIP and urinal facilities each to be built in eight districts of the northern region for the first phase.
The beneficiary districts include Chereponi, Saboba, Gushegu, Central Gonja and West Gonja districts where contractors have already moved to the site to start work.
The rest are East Gonja, Bole and Sawla Tuna Kalba districts all being areas where the falling standard of education is on the increase due to inadequate school infrastructure.
Mr. Fuseini Alhassan, DCE for Gushegu, one of the beneficiary districts commended the Minister for Education, Mr. Alex Tetteh Enyo for exemplifying President Mills’ pledge to be a father all with regard the distribution of the national cake.
He noted that the rapidity at which educational infrastructure is springing up in the region will achieve government’s commitment to develop talents of the youth to make them productive citizens.
Mr. Fuseini Alhassan disclosed the Education Minister’s pledge to provide enough dual desks for the projects when completed.
The Gushegu DCE urged sector Ministers to emulate the shining example of Hon. Tetteh Enyo by attaching importance to the developmental needs of deprived communities in the northern region.
