The Statesman : News : Japan gov’t supports Kibi School for the deaf
The East Akim District Assembly has received a GH¢74,000 grant from the Japanese Government for construction of a dormitory and staff quarters for the Kibi Unit School for the Deaf. It forms part of efforts by the District Assembly to solve some of the accommodation problems in the School.
The District Chief Executive for the area, Emmanuel Victor Asihene made this known when he made a personal donation of soft drinks and biscuits to pupils in the school on Monday for placing second in a 10 schools marching competition organised last week Thursday to mark the 51st anniversary celebration of Ghana's independence at Kyebi.
Making the presentation, Mr Asihene recalled that in a similar celebration five years ago the school won a football gala organised to mark the occasion. In that competition the school did not only win the match but was also adjudged the best disciplined school after the competition.
He assured the school's management that Government has special interest in the school and would do everything possible to ensure that the pupils live comfortably to enhance teaching and learning. He commended the teachers for their hard work.
The head teacher, J E Agbona thanked Mr Asihene for the kind gesture.
The Assistant Director in charge of Supervision and Monitoring of the Ghana Education Service, Owusu Ameraku, who accompanied the DCE, also expressed his profound gratitude to Mr Asihene, saying that his gesture would go a long way to boost the morale of the children. Mr Ameraku disclosed government plans to provide a Senior High School for the Kyebi School for the Deaf.
Speaking in an interview later, Mr Agbona said the school admits children from KG to JHS III, and currently has a total population of 185 pupils. He said out of 20 teachers in the school, only three have accommodation on campus with the rest including himself renting houses in town.
The head teacher said the few dormitories in the school are congested, with 20 children occupying a room originally designed for eight.
Mr Agbona complained about the way some parents dump their children in the school and leave them to their fate
