The projects were funded by the World Bank to improve proper sanitation, environment and hygiene of the students and teachers.

The KMA has also commissioned a six-unit classroom block at Adumanu M/A school, funded under the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF).

Mr. Pyne explained at the commissioning ceremony that the projects are aimed at providing a conducive teaching and learning environment for the children.

He said the six-unit classroom block at Adumanu M/A is the first phase of the project and assured the school management, the chiefs and elders of the community that the second phase would start soon to reduce congestion in the school.

According to him, the KMA has prioritised education, in line with the government’s position to ensure that no child of school going age is left out.

The Mayor reiterated that the institutional sanitation facilities would ensure good sanitation and hygiene to help prevent female absenteeism during their menstrual period, because of the changing rooms attached to the toilet facilities.

The KMA boss urged the management of the schools and Parent Teachers Association (PTA) to take proper care of the facilities to serve the intended purpose.

Nana Kwame Frimpong Akowuah III, Chief of Adumanu, commended the government for the provision of the project.

He appealed to the KMA to urgently complete the abandoned school project at Adumanu M/A school and construct a fence wall to the school land from encroachment and intrusion by unscrupulous people who engage in various activities in the compound.
