The Member of Parliament for Builsa North Constituency and Majority Leader in Parliament, James Agalga, has presented 1,000 mono desks to the Municipal Education Directorate for distribution to 32 selected schools in the Builsa North Municipality.

The donation, aimed at addressing furniture shortages in schools, was formally handed over at the Municipal Assembly premises on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Agalga said the intervention was prompted by concerns over inadequate furniture in basic schools and some secondary and technical institutions across the municipality.

He explained that the Municipal Education Directorate had conducted a needs assessment and identified the beneficiary schools to ensure that the desks were distributed according to their level of need.

According to him, the allocation was largely determined by the Education Directorate, which was better positioned to identify schools facing the most pressing furniture challenges.

Agalga also disclosed that Chuchuliga Senior High Technical School, which recently commenced admissions, would receive 50 desks following an appeal for support.

Sandema Technical Institute and Sandema College of Nursing are also expected to receive 50 desks each to address their furniture shortages.

He assured the institutions of further support, indicating that a comprehensive assessment would be conducted to determine their additional needs.

Receiving the furniture on behalf of the Directorate, Municipal Education Director Johnson Gariba expressed appreciation to the MP, describing the donation as a significant intervention that would improve teaching and learning conditions.

He assured the MP that the Directorate would ensure the desks reached the intended beneficiary schools, particularly those with the greatest need.

The 32 beneficiary institutions are expected to receive allocations ranging from 15 to 50 desks, with Sandema Technical Institute, Achula Senior High Technical School and Sandema College of Nursing each allocated 50 desks.

The intervention is expected to ease furniture shortages and provide a more comfortable learning environment for pupils and students across the municipality.
