Builsa South-photos: Dr. Apaak commissions classroom block, donates desks and motorbikes

The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Abas Apaak, has commissioned a newly constructed six-unit classroom block at Gbedema to expand access to basic education in the area.

Funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), the facility comes with a six-seater toilet, electricity connection, ceiling fans, and teaching boards to enhance teaching and learning at the primary level.

At the commissioning ceremony on Thursday, Dr. Apaak reiterated his commitment to improving educational infrastructure in the constituency, stressing that better facilities are essential for academic development.

The Chief of Gbedema, Nab Nkrumah Apaarinchang, speaking on behalf of residents, expressed appreciation to the MP for the project, describing it as a major boost to education in the community.

As part of broader interventions, Dr. Apaak also presented 4,348 mono desks with tables to the Builsa South Education Directorate at Fumbisi Senior High School for distribution to schools across the district. The items were also funded by GETFund.

He noted that furniture remains a critical need in many schools and said the intervention was aimed at improving classroom conditions and student learning.

In addition, the MP donated four motorbikes to School Improvement Support Officers (SISOs) to strengthen supervision and monitoring of schools across the district.

He explained that improving mobility for supervisors would help ensure more effective oversight of teaching and learning activities.

Receiving the items on behalf of the District Education Directorate, the Deputy Director in charge of Monitoring and Supervision, Mr. Akumzeyam Stephen Ajubil, thanked the MP and assured that the items would be fairly distributed for maximum impact.

The Headmaster of Fumbisi Senior High School, Mr. Michael Adapim, also expressed gratitude on behalf of beneficiary schools and appealed for further support, including the construction of a perimeter fence and additional infrastructure to improve safety and learning conditions.
