The sudden halt of GETFund-funded projects at the Gbewaa College of Education is impeding the College's progress.
The four-year B.Ed program, according to Principal Dr. Halidu Musah, has exacerbated the college's infrastructure problem.
Among the stalled projects are an administration building, a new female hostel, a fence wall, and a two-story classroom building.
When completed, these projects will facilitate teaching and learning while also increasing student comfort in the College.
Dr. Musah urges the government to move quickly on the projects in order to create the conducive environment required for effective teaching and learning.
"We therefore wish to call on government to expedite action on these projects in order to create the congenial atmosphere necessary for effective teaching and learning," Dr. Musah said.
Addressing this year's matriculants, he says, 300 students were admitted out of a total of 2,609 applicants, accounting for only 11.5% of all applicants.
“The total admission this year is made up of 159 males, representing 53% and 141 females, representing 47% (This is higher than last year’s 43% female admission).”
The Principal's speech mentioned the College's poor roads as a major source of concern. He claims that the situation worsens during the season, making vehicular and human movement difficult most of the time.
"As a temporary measure, management is working assiduously to create more access roads in order to ease the movement of staff and students on campus," he explained.
He emphasizes that the short-term solution will only alleviate the situation rather than solve it.
Dr. Musah also requests that the government improve the roads network on campus to facilitate movement.
