THE Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the Pope John Senior High School in Koforidua has put up a GH¢60,000 20-seater Puxin biogas place of convenience for the school.
The project will also provide some of the energy needs of the school as the biogas to be generated will be fed to the school kitchen for cooking.
Measures are in place to expand the project to generate enough biogas to also power a standby generator capable of providing electricity for the entire school in the event of a power outage.
At a ceremony to inaugurate the project, the PTA Chairman, Mr David Nibi, said the initiative was to demonstrate the association’s commitment, not only as a stakeholder, but also a development partner of the school.
For his part, the Headmaster of the school, Mr Isaac Larweh, thanked the association for its support to the school over the years, and appealed to the government and other stakeholders to go to the aid of the school to enable it to address some of the problems facing it.
The Deputy Eastern Regional Minister, Baba Jamal, commended the PTA for its support, and called on other associations and institutions to emulate the gesture to reduce the country’s over-dependence on hydro power.
