Ejisu (Ash), July 2, GNA - The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the Ejisu Secondary/Technical School has built a two-storey block of 15 classrooms for the school at GH¢400,000.00. It was funded through the payment of a special annual levy of GH¢60.00 per student.

Professor Agyewodin Adu-Gyamfi Ampem, Omanhene of Acherensua and Chairman of the Ghana Education Service (GES) Council, and other members of the council, who were in Kumasi for their annual two-day conference, inspected the project.

The GES council members also inspected an 800-metre wall built to protect the Ejisuman Senior High School (SHS) and its land, a girls' dormitory to accommodate 120 students and borehole. The Reverend Collins Oppong-Anane, the headmaster, said these were implemented through the school's own internally generated funds (IGF).
