  "account": "Atebubu College of Education (ATECOE) has been receiving a much-needed boost in infrastructure after years of neglect. The 60-year-old institution, which was the first second-cycle institution in the eastern corridor of the Brong-Ahafo Region and the only training college in the area, has been grappling with a shortage of lecture halls and staff accommodation. Due to this chronic resource deficit, the college has been forced to run lectures from 6am to 9pm daily, a schedule that has taken a toll on both teachers and students. The Vice Principal, Dr. Daniel Ashong, highlighted that the lack of classroom space has made teaching and learning extremely exhausting. However, the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has stepped in with a comprehensive infrastructure package for the college. The projects include a state-of-the-art lecture hall to alleviate congestion, a modern accommodation facility for staff and students, and a road reconstruction contract. These improvements are expected to significantly enhance the teaching and learning environment at the college. The Municipal Chief Executive for Atebubu, Masaudu Thomas Ayaaba, emphasized the importance of the government's investment, noting that the new facilities will not only improve the learning experience but also restore the pride of ATECOE and attract more students to the institution.",
