The Minister of Education, Science and Sports, Professor Dominic K. Fobih, has inaugurated GH¢65,000 a six-unit teachers’ bungalow for the Assin Kruwa District Assembly Basic School and Junior High School.
Speaking at the ceremony, Professor Fobih who is also the Member of Parliament for Assin South, said the construction of the bungalow formed part of the Assembly’s policy to improve education in rural communities in the district.
Professor Fobih said hitherto, most teachers posted to the community had either refused to go or applied for transfer due to accommodation difficulties they faced and said even though it could not accommodate all teachers, it could provide some relief for those who found themselves there.
He said the government was committed to uplifting education, hence, the various interventions such as the Capitation Grant, the School Feeding Programme and the teachers' awards scheme, and urged parents to take advantage of those interventions to educate their children.
The District Chief Executive for Assin South, Ms Millicent Alice Korankye, said the best legacy parents could bequeath to their children was education and advised them to educate their children to enable them to become useful citizens of their communities.
The Presiding Member of the Assin North District Assembly, Mr Anthony Arthur, urged the community to cooperate with the teachers to improve education in the area.
The Chief of Kruwa, Nana Akwa Desi II, advised the teachers to use the facility to improve education in the area.
Nana Akwa Desi appealed to the government to improve the road network in the area to stimulate economic actitvities.
He also appealed for the extension of electiricity to the other areas of the town.
