The Blue Skies Foundation has commissioned a three-unit classroom block, staff common room with sanitary facilities and ICT lab for the Panpanso Krokese Junior High School in the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipality of the Eastern Region. This, was after residents and pupils of Panpanso Krokese M/A Basic School made a passionate appeal for the construction of a three-unit classroom block for effective teaching and learning.
Six months ago, the Blue Skies Foundation broke the ground for the construction of an ultra-modern three unit classroom block and ICT centre for the Junior High School to enhance effective teaching and learning in the school. This was after the residents and the school authorities, realizing the challenge confronting the school, having to partition the classrooms to make place for Junior High School education in the community.
They therefore decided to make an appeal to the Blue Skies Foundation to come to their aid, since they started the school in the community. The company responded swiftly to break ground for the construction of an additional ultra-modern three unit classroom block and ICT centre for the school, and also help refurbish and tile the old school blocks for the teaching and learning of ICT in the community.
After six months of the groundbreaking, the facility has been completed, commissioned with the old classrooms refurbished and handed-over to the school authority for use.
In an interview with GBC News during the commissioning, the Head of Foundation and Corporate Affairs of Blue Skies Products Ghana Limited, Mr. Alistair Djimatey noted that their intention is to help provide access to quality and modern-day education to the pupils in the community, regardless of where they are located.
Mr. Djimatey bemoaned how illegal sand winning is impacting the progress of agriculture and agro-processing factories in the country.
The Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipal Education Director, Madam Beatrice Mamle Nkum noted that effective teaching and learning needs to the place in a conducive environment and therefore commended Blue Skies Foundation for contributing immensely to access to quality education in the municipality. She reiterated that the Municipal Education Directorate will ensure effective monitoring and supervision to maintain the facility.
The Headteacher of Panpanso Krokese MA Basic School, Madam Lydia Akortia while commending Blue Skies for the gesture, appealed to the municipal education directorate to help post teachers to the school. She also appealed for computers as well as classroom desks to enhance effective teaching and learning in the school.
