GH¢1.8 million Assembly Hall for School for the Deaf | Ghanaian Chronicle
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Armah Ashietey, the Tema Mantse, Nii Adjei Kraku II, and the Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Mr. Robert Kempes Ofosuware, last Friday jointly commissioned a beautiful assembly/dining hall complex and a three storey girls’ dormitory, valued at about GH¢1.8 million, to the State School for the Deaf at Adjei Kojo, near Ashaiman.
Addressing the gathering at a colourful ceremony at Adjei-Kojo, Nii Armah Ashietey disclosed that the projects were constructed with funds from the Government of Ghana, purposely to improve on the infrastructure needs of the school, which in the long run, would enhance teaching and learning.
“As much as we are desirous and committed to transform the education sector, I must admit that the challenges confronting the sector are enormous. However, I have a firm conviction that with absolute commitment, tenacity of purpose, and setting our priorities right, we can overcome the challenges, and achieve the desired national goal,” he noted.
According to him, the challenges in the school for the physically challenged were more demanding, because, apart from the fact that they need infrastructure, they also lacked requisite teaching aids and specially trained teachers.
He advised the teachers to give special attention and care to them, “and they will perform just like their colleagues in the ‘normal school’.”
In conclusion, he called on players in the private sector, old students, individuals, and non-governmental organisations to support the school in the provision of infrastructure, teaching and learning materials for the school.
Mr. Robert Kempes Ofosuware, on his part, noted that the construction of the dormitory block was as a result of the children who commute daily from areas such as Chorkor, Weija and its environs to attend school.
