President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to construct 30 new E-block secondary schools across Ghana, primarily in high-population-density areas. These schools, part of the government's Star J Project, are intended to bring secondary education closer to students in densely populated communities. The President emphasized that these schools would be built from scratch and primarily serve as community day schools, allowing children to attend secondary school within or close to their communities.
Speaking in Paga, Upper East Region, Mahama explained that the new schools would be strategically located in high-density areas to minimize the distance students need to travel for secondary education. He pointed out that several earlier E-block schools, which were situated in rural districts, had faced challenges due to the geographical spread of communities, leading to some of them being converted into boarding facilities.
