OASIS Ghana, a Japanese based NGO has signed a grant contract of $29,402 equivalent to about 238 million cedis to Kajelo a community in the Kesena Nankana district at the Japan Embassy in Accra.
The grant assistance is for the construction of a 6-unit classroom block, which would be called OASIS Primary School.
Currently, Kajelo has only one primary school block, which was built in 1938 and congested with about 70 pupils in a classroom, which makes teaching and learning difficult.
The Ghana education Service has committed itself to providing the school with textbooks and also posting teachers to the school. The PTA and community have agreed to raise funds to meet the cost of maintenance for the school in future.
The Japanese Ambassador H.E Mrs. Kazuko Asai on behalf of the government of Japan signed the grant.
He commended government?s effort at promoting education in the region and hoped this contribution will strengthen the already existing friendship between the two countries.
Again Oasis Ghana has provided ?84.6 million to support the construction of a six-unit classroom block with an office and store for Chiana primary school also in the kassena Nankena District of the Upper East Region.
