Schooling under trees and sheds is to end for basic school pupils in the Techiman Municipality by the beginning of the 2010/2011 academic year.
This follows the completion of three and six unit classroom blocks with library and kindergarten facilities for 13 communities in the municipality.
Mr Alex Kofi Kyeremeh, Municipal Chief Executive, who made this known at the weekend, said the facilities were being provided for localities with either broken down or deplorable school blocks, which posed a threat to the security of the pupils.
Mr Kyeremeh was speaking to the Ghana News Agency when he led Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, to inspect the projects.
The Deputy Minister was in the Brong Ahafo Region to familiarize himself with the activities of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District assemblies (MMDA's) and to inspect on-going development projects.
Mr Kyeremeh said the projects, located in communities such as Mallam Imam, Tuobodom, Bayemere, Krobo, Adutwie, Nkraku amongst others, were initiated early this year and completed within three months, making residents to christen them as 'operation three months'.
He noted that the move was in fulfillment of the government's ‘Better Ghana Agenda’ to ensure that every child studied under a decent environment.
Throughout the region, there is massive on-going educational infrastructural development in most of the MMDA's, notably Atebubu-Amanten, Pru, Sene, Nkoranza South districts.
Aside the educational sector, water provision, hospital refurbishment, income generating projects amongst others were also high on the agenda of the assemblies.
Mr Afriyie Ankrah expressed happiness about the projects and commended the chief executives for their hard work.
He urged them to move towards initiating more economic activity projects that would generate income, improve and sustain the livelihoods of the people.
