The Ketu North Municipal Assembly in the Volta Region has officially commenced work on a new six-unit classroom block for Law Memorial E.P. Basic School in Tadzewu, signaling a significant step toward addressing space challenges in the area’s educational facilities. The sod-cutting ceremony, described by local officials as a landmark project for the community, marks the start of construction that promises to enhance teaching and learning conditions for students and teachers alike.
Officials say the six-unit classroom block is designed to provide modern, well-ventilated classrooms with adequate space to accommodate the growing student population. The project aligns with broader regional and national education goals to improve school infrastructure, reduce overcrowding, and create a more conducive environment for effective instruction.
In remarks delivered during the event, representatives from the Ketu North Municipal Assembly emphasized the importance of investing in basic education infrastructure as a catalyst for long-term developmental gains. They noted that the new facility would not only ease the current strain on existing classrooms but also support a broader plan to improve access to quality education in the Volta Region.
The project is expected to include six standard classrooms, with provisions for administrative spaces and ancillary facilities that can support better learning experiences. Stakeholders stressed the importance of timely completion and adherence to quality standards, highlighting that the block will be equipped with features to facilitate inclusive education and safe, comfortable study environments for students.
Community members and education advocates welcomed the development, predicting positive ripple effects beyond the school compound. Parents expressed optimism that the new classrooms would reduce pupil-teacher ratios, shorten waiting lists, and enable more individualized attention for learners at Law Memorial E.P. Basic School. Teachers, too, underscored how improved facilities could contribute to better morale and teaching performance, ultimately benefiting student outcomes across the district.
Construction of the six-unit block is also expected to create local employment opportunities, providing a boost to the economy of Tadzewu and surrounding communities during the development phase. Local contractors, suppliers, and skilled workers are anticipated to benefit from the project, while ongoing engagement with residents will be critical to ensuring the work aligns with community needs and priorities.
As the sod was turned, officials reaffirmed their commitment to transparency and accountability throughout the build, with plans to share progress updates and milestones with the public. The project is funded through a combination of municipal resources and potential contributions from partners focused on improving education infrastructure in the Volta Region.
Looking ahead, stakeholders say the new six-unit classroom block will be a cornerstone in expanding access to quality basic education in Tadzewu. Beyond classrooms, the initiative is seen as part of a larger strategy to uplift the educational fabric of the area, inspire young minds, and lay a strong foundation for future academic achievement across the municipality.
The ceremony concluded with a mutual pledge from education officials, traditional leaders, and community members to collaborate for the timely completion and effective utilization of the facility, underscoring a shared belief that improved school infrastructure is essential to unlocking the district’s full potential.
