The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in collaboration with the Ga Mantse Foundation, has inaugurated a cutting-edge primary school to transform education in Ghana.
The initiative underscores their joint commitment to investing in the future of Ghanaian children.
Elder S. Gifford Nielsen, overseeing the Africa region for the Church of Latter-day Saints, highlighted the school’s inauguration as part of the Church’s broader THEMES PLUS agenda. The facility was specifically developed in response to community demand for enhanced educational infrastructure.
Equipped with modern technology to facilitate teaching and learning, the refurbished school aims to alleviate educational challenges and provide a conducive environment for students. Elder Nielsen emphasized the importance of shielding students from risks while ensuring their well-being and progress in education.
Ga King, His Royal Majesty Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, praised the collaboration, noting that the school, named after his great-grandfather, symbolizes a significant investment in education. He called upon the Ga people to prioritize education, underscoring its pivotal role in societal development.
Representing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Greater Accra Regional Minister Nii Kwartei Titus Glover commended the comprehensive refurbishment project. The school now boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including a library with over 2,000 books, an ICT centre with 40 computers, renovated classroom blocks, an astroturf football pitch with spectator stands, and upgraded amenities like toilets, a canteen, and security features.
The renovation, which includes new infrastructure and landscaping, reflects a commitment to modernizing educational facilities in the Greater Accra Region and beyond.
