The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Komenda-Edina-Aguafo-Abrem (KEEA), Mr. Solomon Appiah has cut sod for the commencement of a three-unit JHS classroom block for Abrem Essiam A.M.E School.
The project, a standard three-unit classroom JHS block with an office space for staff, a storeroom and a toilet facility, is expected to be completed and commissioned within a four-month period before the commencement of the next academic year.
According to Mr. Solomon Appiah during the sod-cutting, the unit will also be furnished with a hundred and fifty student desks and also the office equipped to enhance teaching and learning.
He said one of the main aims of the municipal assembly is to promote education in the area hence the need to support the community with a standard unit classroom block.
He therefore pledged his commitment to help promote education in the KEEA Municipality.
“If we don’t promote and encourage rural education, what we are doing is that we are gradually collapsing the Municipality. So, we brought this project for the purpose of encouraging students or children of Essiam to also know that they are part of the nation building,” he noted.
