The Member of Parliament for Asante Akim South, Kwaku Asante Boateng has come to the assistance of schools in his constituency in deplorable condition by providing building materials to renovate the facilities.
According to him, the current state of the classroom blocks are in such a bad state that it poses as a threat on the lives of the innocent pupils who study in them.
Speaking to GhanaMPs.gov.gh, Hon. Kwaku Asante Boateng stated that by Friday 19th April he would have distributed 500 bags of cement to be used in rehabilitating the affected buildings as soon as possible, as it would be sad to adopt a nonchalant attitude and see the children die a needless death.
He said after embarking on a thank you tour last week in his constituency which is made up of 146 towns and villages and constitutes about 5% of the total landmass of Ashante Region, it was realized that the major needs of his people were the lack of toilets, electricity and accommodation for teachers posted to the area.
Hon. Kwaku Asante Boateng added teachers who have been posted to schools in his constituencies have had to leave the town few months after arrival, a situation that has impacted negatively on quality of education in the area.
He disclosed that to address this worrying situation he has resolved to build a yet to be decided number of bungalows for the teachers every year until the problem is solved, while the constituents help the construction process through communal labour.
