Member of Parliament for Okaikwei South in the Greater Accra region, Darkoa Newman has solicited for funds to complete a school building at Bubiashie.
She has appealed to philanthropists, corporate entities and individuals to help raise the funds to complete a three-storey school block at Bubiashie Cable and Wireless cluster of schools to bring an end to children in the area dropping out of school.
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.
She has also constructed a toilet facility with the provision of two poly tanks to ensure free flow of water to enhance sanitation in the school.
Darkoa Newman, speaking in an interview with Onua TV after commissioning a library in the school praised GETFUND for spearheading several school projects in the area. She 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 fund the project to this level but I need everyone one onboard 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 had had on the academic performance of the school and underscored the need for soliciting for funds to complete the project early next year.
Darkoa Newman, also entreated parents not to renege on their responsibilities in their children’s educational reforms.
