The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly (LaDMA), Mr Solomon Kotey Nikoi, has commissioned a renovated six-unit classroom block for the La Anteson Roman Catholic Primary and Kindergarten School.
The project, funded from the Assembly’s Internally Generated Funds (IGF) at a cost close to GH¢1m will increase enrollment of pupils in the school.
Handing over the facility to the school authorities, Mr Nikoi reiterated the position of the assembly to prioritise education and the provision of its accessories as one of the focal pillars among their targeted thematic areas of development.
On this backdrop, MrNikoi said the assembly took it upon itself to renovate the old school block which was then in a bad state.
The MCE was optimistic that the new block will boost the morale of the teachers and pupils and also praised the teachers for their commitment and dedication towards the development of the children.
The Municipal Education Director for LaDMA, Mrs Habiba Kotomah, expressed gratitude to the assembly and urged the teachers to enforce strict rules to protect the structure.
Ms Janet Adade, headteacher of the school, said the school had not seen any renovation since it was established in 1952.
The refurbished block has new roofing, ceiling fans, white boards, dual desks, louver windows with mosquito nets, doors, among others.

Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.
