Education Minister announces plans to adopt Asuogyaman Model School design for basic schools nationwide
Government plans $200m investment to address basic school infrastructure deficits.
Bono East Regional Minister Francis Owusu Antwi recently inspected several GETFund and government projects in the Nkoranza North District. The inspections took place at Osei Bonsu Senior High School and Busunya Senior High School. At Osei Bonsu, Antwi expressed satisfaction with the quality and speed of construction for a 12-unit classroom block and a girls' dormitory.
However, he was dissatisfied with the substructure of the classroom block at Busunya SHS and the slow pace of work on both projects. He directed the contractor to rectify the issues or face sanctions. The projects are part of efforts to expand educational infrastructure, improve teaching and learning, and phase out the double-track system.
Antwi stated that when completed, the facilities will increase intake and enhance the learning environment. Assistant Headmaster Kwame Opoku of Osei Bonsu SHS described the intervention as a major relief, noting that the school has a population of 1,997 students and faces challenges with inadequate dormitories and classrooms. Meanwhile, Nkoranza North District Chief Executive Patrick Effah commended President John Dramani Mahama for the district's infrastructure support and announced 10 new projects to start by the end of September.
