Principal appeals for assistance

Assin Fosu (Central Region) - The Principal of the Fosu Teachers Training College, James Mensah on Sunday appealed to NGOs, philanthropists and the Assin District Assembly to help complete two abandoned semi-detached bungalows to help solve accommodation problems facing the college.

Mensah said the project, which reached lintel level and fun0ded by the college's PTA was abandoned some years ago following Ghana Education Service's directive to proscribe PTA activities in teacher training colleges.

Mensah who made the appeal in interview with the Ghana News Agency at Fosu said due to accommodation problems, most of the staff are staying outside the college in unsatisfactory conditions.

He said there is also the need to re-gravel the college's roads to facilitate smooth and comfortable movement, adding that this project is estimated at ?15m, which is beyond the financial capacity of the college.

He expressed his gratitude to Sammy Otoo, a past student who has promised to paint the administration block at cost of over ?1.2m and also construct a communication centre at the college.
