Nvenlesolo (W/R), Nov. 10, GNA – Mr Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, Member of Parliament (MP) for Ellembelle, has commissioned a three-unit classroom block for the Nvenlesolo D/A Junior High School (JHS), alongside a mechanised borehole and the donation of 100 tables and chairs to the school.
The block, personally financed by the MP, was constructed following an appeal by the elders and the School Management Committee (SMC) of the town to his office.
At a brief ceremony to commission the projects, Mr Armah-Kofi Buah, who is also the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, pledged to commit more resources to the development of the town.
He said this would include the renovation of the primary school block to bring it up to modern standards.
He reminded parents of their sacred responsibility to complement teachers’ efforts in providing their children with holistic education to produce more engineers, scientists and doctors from the school.
Mr Joseph Armah Agyekum, Ellembelle District Chief Executive (DCE), paid glowing tribute to the late Mr Matthew Yankey, an educationist, for his role as one of the architects behind the construction of the school block.
Mr Wilfred Katey Adodoadji, Ellembelle District Director of Education, said the school had recorded significant milestones since he assumed office.
He disclosed that the school had achieved a 100 per cent pass rate in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and appealed to parents to collaborate with teachers to improve the performance in subsequent examinations.
Mr Adodoadji urged the school authorities and the community to maintain the facility to ensure its longevity.
Nana Tufuhene Kwaano, speaking on behalf of the Chief of Nvenlesolo, said the MP’s interventions in education had yielded positive results, as the school continued to record successes in the BECE.
He expressed gratitude to Mr Armah-Kofi Buah for the numerous development initiatives undertaken in the town since he became the MP for Ellembelle.
