Amakyebare R/C Primary Rehabilitated After Storm Damage

Pupils and Teachers of Amakyebare R/C Primary School can now enjoy a safer and more conducive learning environment, following the successful rehabilitation and commissioning of the school by the Atwima Nwabiagya North District Assembly.

The facility, which suffered extensive damage during a thunderstorm in February 2025, has been fully restored through the intervention of the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. Mba Zachariah Anabila.

The rehabilitation exercise was financed through the District Assembly Common Fund, as part of a broader effort by the government to expand access to quality education.

Prior to the renovation, the deteriorated condition of the school posed a serious concern to both education authorities and residents.

The refurbished school now boasts of modern infrastructure, including newly reconstructed three-unit and four-unit classroom blocks, a staff common room, a headmaster’s office, a urinal facility, electricity and ceiling fans to improve comfort for both pupils and teachers.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Mr. Anabila said the swift intervention was driven by appeals from traditional leaders and the urgent need to restore normal academic activities in the community.

According to him, he was deeply moved by the concerns raised by Nananom over the state of the school, hence the need to act quickly to provide a conducive learning environment for the children of Amakyebare and surrounding communities.

According to the DCE, the commissioning marks the beginning of a series of project inaugurations across the district.

He further revealed that the Akwaboah community has, for the first time since independence, received a basic school under his administration.

Mr. Anabila reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring that every child of school-going age has access to education, emphasising efforts to bring schools closer to communities.

He disclosed that in just 10 months in office, he has overseen the completion of 38 physical projects spanning sanitation, water, healthcare, road reshaping and educational infrastructure and assured to do more to improve the lives of the people.

He also called for continued collaboration with traditional authorities to accelerate development across the district.

Meanwhile, traditional leaders used the occasion to appeal to the government to prioritise the tarring of the road linking Maaban to Amakyebare to improve accessibility.

The headmaster of the school, Mr. Atta Kwasi, expressed gratitude to the District Assembly for the timely intervention.

He noted that while the new facilities have significantly improved conditions, more classrooms are needed to match the growing student population.

According to him, the new classrooms and facilities have brought great relief, but increasing enrolment means they will need additional infrastructure to sustain effective teaching and learning.
