Kade High Tech to convert pig pen to classrooms

Kade (E/R), Oct. 7, GNA - Kade Senior High Technical School, is converting its former pig pen into classrooms to facilitate the enrolment of students for the 2010/2011 academic year.

Mr Rexford Boadi-Danquah, Headmaster of the school who made this known to Ghana News Agency at Kade in the Eastern Region, said a total of 333 students have been selected under the computerised schools selection and placement System for admission although there are no classrooms to accommodate all of them.

He said despite the promise by officials of the Ghana Education Service that the school is among 160 schools selected to benefit from a six-unit classroom block project each, there is nothing on the ground. "In fact no contractor had moved to the school to start any construction," he stressed.

Mr Boadi-Danquah said the completion of a seven- classroom block under construction by the Parent-Teacher Association at the school's new site would help solve the problem.
