A total of 250 dual desks have been handed over to the Akatsi South Education Directorate by the Assembly to improve teaching and learning in the municipality.

These are in addition to 1000 dual and 800 mono desks the Akatsi South Municipal Assembly presented in 2022 for onward distribution to needy schools.

Mr Kofitsey Martin Nyahe, the Municipal Chief Executive, during the presentation, said the move was part of the Government's efforts to reduce the infrastructural deficit in the area.

'We have been able to expand access to education through the provision of infrastructure. We hope to procure even more school desks for distribution this year,' he said.

The Assembly had also started the construction of a three-unit classroom block at Akatsi- Agbagblakope to ensure access to education by the residents, he noted.

Mr Nyahe tasked the Municipal Director of Education to liaise with the Assembly for fair distribution of the desks, especially to schools that need them the most.

Mr Ulmar Karim Ayaana, the Municipal Director of Education, assured of fair distribution of the desks and promised to keep watch over them to ensure their proper maintenance.

He told the Ghana News Agency that quality education remained the responsibility of all stakeholders and commended the Government and Assembly members for the support.
