The Metropolitan Chief Executive of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly, Abdul Mumin-Issah, stated that he decided to pay special attention to the educational needs of the Mberedane community when he first visited.
He said the assembly had planned to support the community to meet their educational and developmental needs. He indicated that the provision of teachers’ accommodation and furniture to the school were all in line with the provision of basic infrastructure for the betterment of education in the rural zones.
The Metro Chief Executive also mentioned that the assembly had planned to construct an additional classroom block to enable the children to complete their basic education at Mbredane.
He expressed the hope that the community would produce prominent human resources in the areas of medicine, teaching, engineering and other disciplines, adding that the completion of the teachers’ quarters would enable teachers to stay in the area to impart knowledge and produce brilliant students for the community and the nation.
