A three-year programme estimated at about three million dollars to improve education in Fanteakwa District from next January is to be undertaken by the management of Korea International Co-operation Agency (KOICA), an affiliate of World Vision International.
Some of the projects to be undertaken include construction of schools, teachers’ quarters, KVIP places of convenience and capacity building for stakeholders in education.
Mr Kim Sung Ho, Programme Officer of KOICA, announced this at a two-day workshop for stakeholders in education at Begoro.
Ms Mary Animwah, Fanteakwa District Director of Education, expressed concern about lack of Junior Secondary School (JSS) workshops in schools in the district that had deprived most students of acquiring basic technical know how before completing basic education.
She appealed to NGOs working in the district to assist in the provision of means of transport for circuit supervisors to enhance effective and efficient supervision of schools.
Ms Animwah said only four out of the 12 Circuit Supervisors in the district had motorbikes and it was affecting effective supervision of schools.
Mr Ebenezer Ofoe Caesar, Fanteakwa District Chief Executive expressed concern about the politicisation of development projects in the district that did not augur well for socio-economic development.
He warned the people against politicisation of development projects and commended management of KOICA for their foresight to assist improve education in the district.
