AMA millennium schools ready
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has completed three more classroom blocks under its Millennium Schools Project.
The ultra modern three-storey classroom blocks for three schools in the metropolis are ready for use when schools reopen in September for the new academic year.
The beneficiary schools are Dansoman 1 and 2 Basic School, Dansoman 1 Junior High School and Salleria Basic School located at Odorkor in Accra.
The Chief Executive Officer, Dr Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije, who made this known in an interview, said each building had 36 classrooms, a library, toilets, Science and Computer laboratories, among other facilities.
"In all, the basic amenities needed for academic work to start, including desks are ready," he added.
Dr Vanderpuije said each of the classrooms would have a class size of 40, adding that, each school would also have a borehole, a generator and playground.
He expressed his appreciation to the Chinese Government for sponsoring the construction of an additional classroom block to accommodate more pupils at the Dansoman ‘1’ Junior High School.
It would be recalled that due to the poor state of some classrooms and the shift system in the metropolis, the AMA began the Millennium City Schools Project.
Last year, the late President, Prof. E. A. Mills, together with the AMA inaugurated 18-unit three-storey blocks at Mamprobi M1, the Salvation School Complex also at Mamprobi and the Ayalolo Cluster of Schools.
