Ketu north: Mr Eric Edem Agbana, the Member of Parliament for Ketu North, has announced the commencement of four new school infrastructure projects across the constituency. These projects are part of efforts to improve access to quality education and enhance learning conditions for schoolchildren.
According to Ghana News Agency, the projects will be handed over to contractors this week. The plans include constructing two six-unit classroom blocks with auxiliary facilities at Dzodze Tove and Adelakoekorpe, a three-unit kindergarten block at Wuti, and another six-unit classroom block with auxiliary facilities at Agordeke. In an interview, Mr Agbana stated that these projects are part of ongoing interventions to address infrastructure deficits in the education sector, ensuring that children in underserved communities have access to safe and conducive learning environments.
He noted that the new classroom facilities would help reduce congestion in schools, improve teaching and learning, and provide pupils with better academic spaces. The MP emphasized that work on all four projects would begin immediately after site handover, and construction would proceed without sod-cutting ceremonies to save time and focus resources on execution. 'Work will proceed without a sod-cutting ceremony for any of these projects. Our priority is to ensure that construction starts promptly and the people see results,' he stated.
Mr Agbana highlighted that the educational needs of children in Ketu North remain central to his development agenda and reaffirmed his commitment to investing in school infrastructure across the constituency. He also announced his collaboration with the international education-focused non-government organization, Pencils of Promise (PoP), to break ground for constructing a four-unit modern kindergarten facility for Kave MA Basic School on June 30, 2026.
The MP stated that the Kave project, undertaken in partnership with Pencils of Promise, would further strengthen early childhood education in the area and expand access to quality foundational learning. He underscored the importance of collaboration in addressing educational challenges and improving outcomes for children in rural communities. Mr Agbana reiterated his commitment to ensuring that every child in Ketu North had access to quality education in a safe and supportive environment, noting that education remains one of the strongest pillars for long-term development in the constituency.
