Member of Parliament for Okaikwei South in the Greater Accra region, Darkoa Newman, has solicited for funds to complete a dilapidated school building at Bubuashie.
She has appealed to philanthropists, corporate entities and individuals to help raise funds to complete a three-storey school block at the Bubiashie Cable and Wireless Cluster of Schools to aid eradication of school dropouts.
The Bubiashie Cable and Wireless Cluster of Schools in the Accra Metropolitan Assembly has suffered classroom deficit, lack of school desks and a place of convenience for over a decade.
Meanwhile, a three-storey school block project started 14 years ago has been stalled.
This has compelled the school authorities to relocate the Junior High School students to Kaneshie North 1 & 2 to study.
The challenge remained until the Okaikwei South lawmaker in 2021 took steps to redevelop the school from her resources.
She has managed to complete the first floor and has provided dual desks to enhance teaching and learning.
The MP has also constructed a toilet facility with the provision of two water storage tanks to ensure free flow of water to encourage sanity in the school.
Darkoa Newman, speaking in an interview with Onua News after commissioning a library in the school praised GETFUND for spearheading several school projects in the area yet appealed to the general public to complement her effort in completing the three-storey building project.
“GETFUND is doing their part to improve Ghana’s education system in this area but as a leader I can’t stay aloof, instead, I have to do my bit to get this project completed for the school.
“In this vein, I have managed to resource the project to this level but I need everyone on board to raise enough funds to get it completed so that the school authorities could bring the JHS pupils here to study,” she supplicated.
She recounted the effects the stalled project has had on the academic performance of the school and underscored the need for soliciting for funds to complete it early next year.
Darkoa Newman, likewise, entreated parents not to renege on their responsibilities in their children’s educational reforms.
