Story: Emmanuel Modey,
Wusuta-Kpebe
A four-unit teachers’ quarters and a three-unit classroom block have been inaugurated at separate ceremonies at Gbefi and Wusuta-Kpebe respectively in the Kpando District.
The two projects, valued at GH¢59,640, were financed by the Community Based Rural Development Project (CBRDP) and the Rapid Results Initiative (RRI).
The active involvement of the RRI helped in completing the projects within a period of 100 days.
The use of the classroom block has helped increase the population of the school from 100 to 200.
The Co-ordinator of CBRDP, Mr Charles Nayram, commended the people for completing the projects on schedule.
He said the RRI had plans to site projects in communities, which were ready to offer the needed practical support.
Mr Nayram urged the people to attach special importance to their children’s education instead of involving them in fishing.
In his inaugural address, the Kpando District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Pius Adanuti, said since the government considered the importance of education, it would do everything possible to provide the necessary infrastructure for schools.
He urged teachers to support the government’s policies and programmes since it had their interest at heart.
Mr Adanuti, therefore, urged them to work diligently in the face of difficulties by offering their services towards the overall development of the country.
He implored the communities to rekindle their communal spirit in order to attract more development projects from the Assembly.
The Assistant Director of the Kpando branch of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Mr Paul Afordofe, said the provision of the school block would go a long way to discourage the schoolchildren from engaging in child labour.
He appealed to the financiers of the project to provide a similar facility for Biada-Tornu, where the situation was worse.
