Kramokrom community gets new school block

The people of Kramokrom a farming community in the Akrofuom District can now heave a sigh of relief following the commissioning of a three (3) unit classroom block to replace a dilapidated one in the town.

The new facility was commissioned by the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area, Jonas Maurice Woode.

According to the DCE, education remains a topmost priority to him.

He said human resource development is key to the success of a country hence his resolve to promote education within the district.

He added that, even though the district is relatively young, he is working assiduously to make education accessible and also promote quality teaching and learning in the area.

“To make education accessible and promote quality education, we will make sure all schools in dilapidated states are given a face-lift. We will also see to it that the living conditions of teachers are improved”.

Mr. Woode further stated that, the school is strategically positioned to accommodate pupils from neighbouring communities who do not have Junior High Schools.

On the progress made so far, the DCE mentioned that hitherto, the Akrofuom district had only 3 public schools out of the 35 existing schools benefiting from the government school feeding program.

He said currently twenty- one (21) schools are benefitting from the program and efforts are being made to extend it to the remaining schools.

He also noted that the Assembly has provided 2,100 desks and 41 teachers’ desks to schools within the district.

Mr. Jonas Woode advised the teachers and students to adhere to the maintenance culture and protect the facility to stand the test of time.

The District Director of Education Mr. Adu Abrokwah expressed his profound gratitude to the DCE for championing education in the district.

He also appealed to government to provide them with teachers’ quarters.

Odikro of Kramokrom Nana Baffour Awuah thanked the DCE for giving the Kramokrom school a facelift.

Nana Awuah took the advantage of the ceremony to highlight challenges the community face such as poor roads, lack of electricity, library and poor network connectivity among others.
