THE Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the Aburi Girls Senior High School has constructed a three-unit science block valued at GH¢50,000 for the school.
The project is aimed at solving the lack of adequate classrooms for the study of science at the school.
It is expected to increase the intake of students who wish to pursue science subjects at the school, unlike in the past when only a few students were admitted to study the course.
The inauguration of the project was done during the official handover of a new PTA-funded water sachet producing plant also put up to address the acute water shortage facing the teachers and students of the school.
Prior to the inauguration of the plant, students of the institution often had to walk long distances to fetch unclean water from a valley near the school.
In an address, the Headmistress of the school, Mrs Silvia Asempa, expressed her happiness that the completion of the science block would offer many students who desired to study science at the school a better chance to be enrolled unlike in the past when a few students were privileged to be admitted.
She expressed her profound gratitude to the PTA for its relentless efforts towards the development and academic progress of the school over the years.
“Our students have been able to acquire enviable academic laurels in all examinations by virtue of the wonderful support and commitment of our PTA, who have stood by the management of the school in our development aspirations,” the headmistress said.
For his part, the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, said the delivery of quality education in the country should not be the sole responsibility of the government but all stakeholders and therefore commended the PTA of the school for its commitment to the progress of the institution.
He asked the students to utilise the opportunity offered them to study science by taking a keen interest in the study of science and mathematics.
