Severe pressure on educational infrastructure in Denkyira Nkotimso has sparked renewed calls for urgent government intervention, as local leaders highlight worsening conditions in schools.
The Chief of the area, Nana Oketekyire Joe Amanfo II, says the community is grappling with inadequate facilities, leaving hundreds of pupils to study in overcrowded classrooms.
According to him, despite optimism following the return of John Dramani Mahama, development in the Upper Denkyira West District remains slow, particularly in the education sector.
He urged authorities to prioritize infrastructure expansion, stressing that access to quality education is critical for the community’s future.
Concerns were echoed by Assembly Member John Mensah, who revealed that the issue has been repeatedly raised at assembly meetings without meaningful action.
He disclosed that the entire community currently depends on a single public school, where some classrooms accommodate as many as 90 pupils—conditions he described as detrimental to effective learning.
The leaders have also appealed to NGOs and other stakeholders to step in and support efforts to improve facilities.
Responding to the concerns, Isaac Nsiah, District Chief Executive, assured residents that plans are underway to address infrastructure deficits and bring significant development to the area.
