Improving Education Is An Urgent Priority - DCE

The Amansie West District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. Alex Kwame Bonsu, says improving education is an urgent priority of the district assembly.

It would therefore go to every length to provide classrooms and supply schools with adequate teaching and learning aids.

He said substantial proportion of its share of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) and the District Development Fund (DDF) was being used for just that.

The DCE was speaking at the inauguration of a three-classroom block built at Mosikrom with funding by the Church of Latter Day Saints.

He announced that 1,000 dual desks would soon be distributed to schools across the district.

He also hinted of plans to sink more boreholes to provide the people with potable water and rehabilitate some bad roads running through the district for easy evacuation of farm produce to the marketing centres.  

Mr. Bonsu later toured five other farming communities to interact with the people and assure them of efforts the government was making to make things better for everybody.

The communities included Afedie, Adumposo Number-One and Number-Two, Manso-Gyeduako and Pakyi.

The people of Adumposo Number-Two appealed to the health authorities to post a midwife to the community health planning and services (CHPS) compound built there, to attend to give care to pregnant women.
