This, according to him will ensure economic use of available lands and allow for schools to enroll more instead of using the meager resources in acquiring land with the aim of establishing new schools while existing ones can be equipped to accommodate more.

Mr. Mensah who made the disclosure to Ghanadistricts.com was giving details to some of the steps being taken to improve infrastructure particularly in basic schools in the Awutu-Senya East Municipality.

He noted that currently a one-storey, 12-unit classroom block, and a 6-unit classroom block have been awarded for construction at Amuzukope Basic School, and the contractors are on site to carry these projects.

Gadakope is also a beneficiary of another 12-unit classroom block under construction, which will be floored for future development into a storey buildings.

The contribution of the Member of Parliament for the Awutu-Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson has also been significant in this regard, adding that the MP has brought on board 3 main projects including; 6-unit classroom block at Emmanuel Presby School, ICODEHS – an Islamic School, as well as 6-unit block for Islamic Research.
