Ashaiman, Oct 9, GNA – The Ashaiman Municipal
Education Directorate has appealed to government to complete an abandoned
E-block school building to accommodate students of the Ashiaman Technical
Institute.

The building, which was started under the
former President John Dramani Mahama’s 200 school building project, has some of
its block works completed and fitted with window and door frames.

The top floor on the other hand, had wood
trusses fixed awaiting the purlins, roofing covering and subsequent block
infilling. 

The E-Block which had been abandoned in the
bush at Community 22 military base area had been taken over by squatters who
had turned the ground floor classrooms into their homes.

Rev Orleans Madjitey, Ashiaman Municipal
Education Director, told the Ghana News Agency that students were currently
accommodated in a school building constructed by the Ashaiman Municipal
Assembly (ASHMA) at Tsuibleoo for pupils of the Ashaiman Cluster of Schools.

Rev Madjitey added that the Technical School
which used to be part of the Don Bosco School had to move out of their premises
after it (Don Bosco) became a private school.

She indicated that it was inappropriate for
the technical school to occupy the building belonging to the basic school as
that building was constructed to help decongest the cluster of schools.

She added that about 11 other abandoned Ghana
Education Trust Fund (GETFund) projects in the Municipality needed to be
completed urgently to accommodate school children.

Schools which did not have enough classrooms,
she noted, were running the shift education system to enable the children in
the Municipality to gain access to basic education.

She appealed to corporate organizations and
individuals to help provide some of the needs of the schools and pupils.

According to her, even though the children of
the Municipality were doing their best, some of them did not have learning
materials including exercise books due to the financial challenges at home.
