Kumawu MP calls for urgent action on SHS infrastructure deficits
The Member of Parliament for Kumawu, Ernest Yaw Anim, has appealed to the government and the Ministry of Education to urgently address infrastructure deficits confronting schools across the country.
Ernest Yaw Anim, the Member of Parliament for Kumawu, has urged the government and the Ministry of Education to take immediate action to resolve infrastructure issues plaguing secondary schools nationwide. Inadequate classrooms, overcrowding and insufficient housing have hindered teaching and learning in senior high institutions.
During a recent visit to support 500 final-year students in the Sekyere Kumawu District, Anim expressed concern over inadequate sleeping arrangements, with some students sharing beds due to limited availability. He emphasized the need for increased investment in educational facilities to create safe and conducive learning environments.
Anim also called on the government, education ministry and Ghana Education Service to implement measures to motivate teachers and enhance their working conditions, citing that skilled educators are crucial to delivering quality education and shaping responsible citizens. He condemned teacher-student sexual relationships as unacceptable and urged education authorities to strengthen oversight to prevent such misconduct.
Anim stressed the importance of investing in human capital, envisioning his constituents become professionals who would contribute to national development. He expressed hope that those supported by his educational initiatives would eventually pursue careers as doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, teachers and other key professions, leaving a lasting legacy of service to their community.
