Akoradarko a farming Community in Fanteakwa North District of the Eastern Region has been provided with a 3-unit modern Kindergarten block with auxiliary facilities such as offices, store, restroom, toilet and bath.
The KG classrooms are connected to solar Energy and furnished with furniture, a 45-inch tv set, laptops, tablets, mats for the children, boxes of the marker, exercise books, reading books, play equipment, and other teaching and learning materials.
Attached to the Classroom block is a four-bedroom teacher’s bungalow facility.
The $121,622 was built by World Vision Ghana with funding from the World Vision Korean support office and other institutions in Korea. The Project commenced in March 2019 and completed in February 2020.
Speaking to the media after commissioning the Project, World Vision Ghana’s Technical Education Programme Manager, Andrew Ofosu-Dankyi, said the academic enthusiasm of children in the community motivated the NGO to put up the edifice after an impressing performance of the Children in the village in a reading project implemented in the district despite the poor state of their school building.
He said the facility is therefore envisaged to enhance the delivery of quality early childhood education to improve the academic performances of the vulnerable but brilliant children in the community.
The Fanteakwa North District Director of Education, Felli Jacob Alagiwe, commended the NGO for their immense contribution to improving the academic performance of children in rural parts of the District over the years. He urged teachers to effectively maintain the facility and ICT equipment for sustainability.
The Head teacher of the School, Clement Aniagyei, was elated that academic performance would see significant improvement since accommodation was a major challenge to teachers posted to the community.
