Mrs Elizabeth Amoah-Tetteh, deputy Minister in charge of Secondary Education, has presented 100 bags of cement and five packets of roofing sheets to Twifo Praso Senior High School for the construction of additional classrooms to enable the school to cope with the four-year senior high school programme.

Mrs Amoah-Tetteh, who is also the Member of Parliament for Twifo Atti Mokwaa, said the government would continue to provide infrastructure for the four-year programme even though it had decided to reverse to the three-year period.

The Deputy Minister, however, said this would depend on availability of funds, and that proceeds from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) would also be used to support infrastructural development.

She said the government had tasked the district assemblies to collate information on infrastructure in senior high schools to enable it to take the necessary steps to deal with the problem in order not to jeopardise the four-year programme.

Mrs Amoah-Tetteh reiterated the government's committment to solving infrastructural problems, saying that it had already held discussions to that effect.

She said she had so far donated 1,400 bags of cement and 80 packets of roofing sheets from the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Funds to support community development projects in the Twifo-Hemang-Lower Denkyira District.

The Headmaster of the Twifo Praso Senior High School, Mr Kojo Hayford, commended Mrs Amoah-Tetteh for the donation and said it would help to alleviate the plight of the students.
