Government has, through the Ghana Education Trust Fund, secured a $1.5 billion facility to help develop infrastructure in schools across the country.
That’s according to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, addressing the issues of insufficient numbers of classrooms, desks, laboratories, computers and dormitories.
President Akufo-Addo disclosed this when he met members of the media at an end of year press conference, at Jubilee House, in Accra, on Wednesday, December 19, 2018.
According to President Akufo-Addo, “Parliamentary approval has been obtained, and the first tranche of this facility will be used to build more classroom blocks and dormitories in our schools to give our schools appropriate facilities to meet the demands of the 21st century”.
The President continued, “And, so, we are on doubletrack, and we are building the classrooms and laboratories, and gradually turning the once deprived schools into well-equipped ones. We find that paying attention to the proper management of schools means we are getting better results.”
The encounter with the media is the third with President Akufo-Addo since he resumed office, as he marks the mid of his first tenure.
President Akufo-Addo touched on key issues and prospects of the economy.
