The Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi Constituency, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has once again demonstrated his commitment to education by handing over two newly constructed six-unit classroom blocks to schools in the constituency.
The projects, undertaken as part of efforts to address infrastructure deficits in basic education, were handed over to Akyem Anyinase Presbyterian Basic School and Akyem Bontodiase Presbyterian Basic School. The new facilities are expected to significantly improve teaching and learning outcomes, particularly for pupils who had previously studied in overcrowded classrooms and less conducive environments.
Each of the classroom blocks consists of six spacious, well-ventilated classrooms designed to provide a more comfortable and learner-friendly atmosphere. Education authorities believe the improved infrastructure will help reduce congestion, enhance teacher effectiveness, and boost pupils’ academic performance.
Speaking at the handing-over ceremony, Oppong Nkrumah emphasised the central role of education in the constituency’s development agenda, stressing that sustained investment in school infrastructure is non-negotiable.
According to him, improving educational facilities is crucial to establishing a solid foundation for future growth.
“Investing in education remains a top priority, because it lays the foundation for sustainable development in the constituency,” the MP said. “When we create the right environment for teaching and learning, we are directly investing in the future of our children and the long-term progress of our communities.”
He encouraged teachers and pupils to take full advantage of the new facilities to improve academic outcomes and instil a culture of excellence.
The MP further assured residents that his office would continue to champion initiatives aimed at raising educational standards across the constituency.
“I urge both teachers and pupils to make good use of these facilities so that together we can achieve better results,” he added, while reaffirming his “continuous commitment to improving educational standards” in Ofoase/Ayirebi.
Traditional leaders, community members, and school authorities who attended the ceremony welcomed the development, describing the projects as timely and impactful.
They noted that the new classroom blocks would ease pressure on existing infrastructure and create a more dignified learning environment for pupils.
Representatives of the beneficiary schools expressed appreciation to the MP for addressing long-standing infrastructure challenges, noting that the new classrooms would enhance discipline, attendance, and overall academic performance.
Community leaders also pledged to collaborate with school authorities to ensure proper maintenance of the facilities to prolong their lifespan.
The commissioning of the two classroom blocks forms part of ongoing efforts in the constituency to improve educational infrastructure, as stakeholders continue to advocate expanded access to quality education as a key driver of social and economic development.
