Ndakeba, the NPP Coordinator and Chairman in Ayirekremu, Krachi East Municipality, Oti Region, expressed disappointment over the former government's rejection of the community's request to renovate teachers' bungalows. He described it as a missed opportunity to enhance education delivery, highlighting inadequate accommodation as a major challenge for schools in Ayirekremu and neighboring communities.
This issue makes it difficult to attract and retain qualified teachers, particularly those transferred from outside the area who find it hard to locate safe and affordable housing. The situation impacts staff stability, continuity in teaching, and learning outcomes for pupils. Ndakeba observed that teachers need a conducive environment to function effectively; without housing support, postings become short-term, and the children suffer.
During a visit where the Krachi East Municipal Assembly, along with the Member of Parliament (MP) and Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), renovated a dilapidated teachers' bungalow, Ndakeba commended the Mahama Government for renewed attention to community concerns and praised the MP and MCE for responding to community needs through practical interventions.
He urged stakeholders to prioritize teachers' accommodation, emphasizing that improving teacher welfare is crucial for raising academic performance and expanding opportunities for the youth. Ndakeba also appealed to relevant agencies and development partners to collaborate with the MP and MCE to sustain targeted support in underserved communities.
The Krachi East MCE, Sarfo Nketia, assured residents that the Assembly would continue prioritizing education through infrastructure improvements to make teaching and learning more attractive. From 2025 onwards, the Assembly has undertaken projects such as classroom renovations, construction of teachers' bungalows, a six-unit classroom block, and furniture provision to enhance learning.
The MCE urged residents to continue supporting the NDC government and the Assembly's development agenda.
