Zero Schools Under Trees: Construction Starts For The Second Batch Of 22 Schools

Zero Schools Under Trees: Construction Starts For The Second Batch Of 22 Schools

Valco Trust Fund has begun the construction of the second Phase of 22 schools under the schools under trees project for the southern part of the country.

The 22 schools which started earlier this year are expected to be completed and made ready by the end of May, 2022, this is according to Kelvin Kweku Yeboah, the executive Director of Valco Trust Fund.

The Executive Director made this known when Valco Trust Fund held a ceremony to commission and handed over fully furnished seventeen basic schools to the Ghana Education Service and the respective communities across the country.

Mr. Yeboah expressed the desire of Valco Trust Fund to fix the country’s educational infrastructure problems as well as make schools a better place for teachers and students.

However, he questioned the ability of the Ghana Education Service to protect and maintain these essential infrastructure developments to have a prolonged lifespan and longevity in the country.

“Mr. Chairman, our intention is to fix the offices of the headmaster/mistress and the staff as well as the library with air conditioners and provide these schools with modern computers and power point presentation equipment going forward and this will be done irrespective of location.

“However, Mr. Chairman, the question is that, would the Ghana Education service be able to maintain these air-conditioners, and would the communities be able to protect these modern computers from being stolen by their indigenes,” The Executive Director questioned.

This, he said, will help elevate the teaching and learning environment of teachers to the status of any other professional persons in the country. He added, though this is the objective, it will be a huge motivation for the teachers to accept postings irrespective of location.

The regional distribution of the second phase includes Ashanti Region 8, Western Region 2, Western North 1, Volta Region 3, Eastern Region 3, Central Region 1, Ahafo Region 2, Bono East Region 1, and Bono Region 1.

He also revealed that the third batch of 30 schools for the northern part of Ghana shall also commence in June 2022 and the details in respect of the distribution shall be made available to the people of Ghana at the appropriate time.
