Dr. Apaak cuts sod for GH¢41m school projects in Builsa South

Deputy Education Minister, Dr. Clement Abas Apaak has launched over GH¢41 million worth of education projects across Builsa South to improve infrastructure and learning conditions.

The Builsa South MP handed over multiple sites for construction, marking the start of a major push to upgrade schools in the district.

The projects, funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund, are expected to ease pressure on existing facilities while expanding access to quality education.

The developments address a range of needs across the district, from administrative space to classroom and accommodation facilities. Plans include a modern office complex for the district education directorate in Fumbisi, new classroom blocks in several communities, and improved boarding facilities at Kanjarga Senior High School.

A headmaster’s bungalow is also part of the package, aimed at strengthening school leadership presence.

The initiative forms part of a broader effort to tackle long-standing challenges in the education sector, particularly overcrowded classrooms and inadequate infrastructure.

The projects are expected to create a more conducive environment for effective teaching and learning while supporting better outcomes for students.

Beyond infrastructure, the MP has secured more than 400 monodesks for distribution to schools across the district in the coming weeks.

This intervention is expected to further reduce congestion and improve classroom comfort.

District Director of Education, Richard Akum-Nyemi, welcomed the initiative and highlighted ongoing efforts to improve educational standards in the area, including the consistent supply of desks to schools.

Local officials, including District Chief Executive Anne Musah, contractors, and party executives, were present at the site handovers alongside other stakeholders.

Residents have also expressed optimism, describing the projects as timely and necessary investments in the future of education in Builsa South.

The projects are expected to be completed within twelve months, with many hopeful that they will bring lasting improvements to teaching and learning across the district.
