Efforts to improve basic education infrastructure in the Nkwanta North District have received a boost after the District Assembly supplied hundreds of furniture items to schools to address longstanding classroom shortages.
The District Chief Executive, Dordoe Kudjoe Isaiah, formally handed over 992 pieces of furniture to the District Directorate of Education during a brief ceremony at the Assembly premises on Wednesday.
The package includes 130 hexagonal tables, 385 dual desks, 445 mono desks, and 32 sets of teachers’ tables and chairs, all intended to improve learning conditions in basic schools across the district.
Mr. Isaiah said the intervention forms part of government’s broader effort to tackle infrastructure gaps in education and ensure that pupils, especially in rural and underserved communities, learn in a more comfortable environment.
He stressed that improving access to furniture is critical to enhancing teaching effectiveness and learner participation, urging school authorities to take proper care of the items to extend their lifespan.
On behalf of the Education Directorate, District Coordinating Director Samuel Gyamena expressed gratitude to the Assembly, describing the intervention as timely and impactful.
He assured that the furniture would be distributed fairly to schools most in need and maintained to ensure durability and long-term benefit.
According to him, the support will help ease pressure on schools where pupils are currently forced to sit on the floor or share limited desks due to shortages.
Education officials, headteachers, and students who attended the event welcomed the initiative, describing it as a step toward improving classroom conditions and supporting better learning outcomes in the district.
