The Head of communications at the Ministry of Education, Kwasi Kwarteng, has disclosed that the government will operationalize the Aflao E-Block community day school in 2022.
According to him, efforts were underway to complete the project and operationalize it together with other E-Blocks in February 2022.
He was speaking on Accra based Citi FM.
“The building is completed. What is left is the refurbishment, chairs and all that. We are not sleeping. We are very hopeful that the Aflao one and others that are yet to be completed, by the next academic year, we should see it in the Computerised School Selection and placement system so that students will access it. That is somewhere in February [2022],” he explained.
President Akufo-Addo recently asked the Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area to “complete” the abandoned E-block community day senior high school in the area himself if he is frustrated about the delay.
On Wednesday, October 20, Torgbui Adzonu-Gaga Amenya Fiti V gave the government a four-month ultimatum to finish the building for use.
The school, built during the Mahama administration is almost 90 per cent complete. It has some 26 classrooms and five departments, including a science block but has stalled since 2016.
But reacting to the demand on Accra-based Peace FM last week Thursday, the President, quizzed, “Is he the one going to give the Minister of Education ultimatum?”
