The Amonokrom D/A Basic School in the Adansi Asokwa District of the Ashanti Region has appealed for additional teachers, improved educational infrastructure, and adequate teaching and learning materials to enhance effective education delivery.
The appeal was made during a sod-cutting ceremony by the Adansi Asokwa District Chief Executive (DCE) and the Member of Parliament for the area for the construction of a three-unit classroom block and teachers’ quarters. The project is expected to significantly improve teaching and learning conditions at the school.
Speaking to Adom News, some students said learning becomes unbearable during the rainy season due to the school’s existing wooden classroom structures. They explained that stray animals often enter the classrooms and soil the environment, making it unsafe and uncomfortable for studies. The students also cited inadequate teaching staff and a lack of teaching and learning materials as major challenges, appealing to government and other stakeholders for urgent support.
The Adansi Asokwa DCE, Albert Dakura, stressed that the project must be properly supervised by all stakeholders to ensure quality work, warning that shoddy construction would not stand the test of time. He further cautioned that anyone found engaging in the illegal sale or purchase of building materials meant for the project would be dealt with in accordance with the law.
