A major milestone in educational development has been achieved in the Sekyere Afram Plains Constituency of the Ashanti Region following the commissioning of a fully financed six-unit classroom block at Nyamebekyere D/A Basic School by the Member of Parliament, Nasira Afrah Gyekye.
The newly completed six-unit classroom block, funded entirely by the MP, replaces the previously inadequate structure that for years posed challenges to effective teaching and learning. The modern facility provides six well-structured classrooms designed to create a safe, comfortable, and conducive environment for both pupils and teachers.

According to her, every child in Sekyere Afram Plains deserves access to quality educational infrastructure that nurtures their potential and prepares them for the future. She explained that her decision to fully finance the six-unit classroom block was driven by her deep concern about the learning conditions of pupils in Nyamebekyere and her strong belief that no child should be disadvantaged due to inadequate facilities.
The facility features spacious and well-ventilated classrooms, durable roofing, proper flooring, secure doors and windows, and improved structural stability capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions. The intervention is expected to significantly enhance academic performance, improve attendance, and boost morale among both learners and staff.

Abubakar Issaka, and the government for the timely intervention.
