Nene Agyatey Aklo III, Chief of Twifo-34 in Ghana's Central Region, has urged the government to recruit more teachers for Twifo Thirty-Four D/A Basic School. The appeal was made during the commissioning of a new three-unit classroom block, constructed through a partnership between Okra Projects and the Twifo Atti-Morkwa District Assembly. The Chief emphasized that constructing classrooms without enough teachers defeats the purpose of improving education.
The Twifo-34 D/A Basic School currently has only four government teachers, with the rest being community teachers financed by the community. Nene Agyatey Aklo III stressed that recruiting and posting more teachers is crucial to ensure pupils benefit fully from the newly constructed classrooms. This shortage of teachers affects the quality of education provided to students. The community is eagerly awaiting the government's response to this pressing issue.
Leaders of Okra Projects, Mr. Cyprus Nii Sackey and Nana Otosi Otubea Amoah I, Dabrehemaa of the Agona-Nsaba Traditional Council, encouraged the community to take proper care of the new facility. They emphasized the importance of regular maintenance to prolong the lifespan of the classrooms and ensure future generations can continue to benefit from the project. The community's involvement is vital in sustaining the infrastructure.
Mr. Isaac Yawson, Twifo Atti-Morkwa District Chief Executive, highlighted that a conducive learning environment is essential for improving teaching and learning outcomes. He mentioned that the District Assembly, in partnership with Okra Projects, has furnished the school with mono desks. The Assembly is committed to providing quality classroom facilities and educational infrastructure where needed.
The partnership between the District Assembly and Okra Projects aims to improve educational infrastructure in the district. Mr. Yawson assured other communities that the Assembly is working with development partners to provide quality facilities. This initiative demonstrates the government's efforts to address educational challenges in the region.
The commissioning of the new classroom block is a significant milestone for the Twifo-34 D/A Basic School. The school's development is a result of collaborative efforts between the community, Okra Projects, and the District Assembly. Continued support from stakeholders is necessary to ensure the school's growth and success.
