A non-governmental organization, Today for Tomorrow Fund (TFT), has officially handed over a seven-unit classroom block—including a three-classroom kindergarten facility with an office—to the Sakasaka cluster of schools in Tamale.
The initiative is aimed at addressing the critical infrastructure deficits faced by the school.
The Sakasaka cluster of schools, one of the oldest schools in Tamale, has long struggled with inadequate infrastructure. The situation worsened when its Junior High School (JHS) block was recently gutted by fire, leaving students and teachers in dire need of proper learning spaces.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, TFT Director Sephania Koutanyi stressed that the project represents more than just the construction of classrooms.
“This goes beyond physical infrastructure; it symbolises hope and a shared vision for a better future. By providing improved learning spaces, we aim to inspire both students and educators to reach their full potential,” he said.
The Mayor of Tamale, Abubakari Adam Takoro, lauded the project and assured stakeholders of the Assembly’s commitment to maintain the newly completed facilities.
“This is a significant contribution to education in the Tamale Metropolis, and I must say I’m grateful. I want to assure you that the Assembly will work closely with the school authorities to ensure proper maintenance of the classroom and office blocks,” he stated.
He described the commissioning as a testament to the power of partnership, dedication, and the transformative potential of education.
Also present at the ceremony was the Member of Parliament for Sunyani East Constituency, Seid Mubarak, who highlighted the critical role of collaboration between parents and teachers in advancing education.
“It is very important to acquire knowledge. As parents and teachers, we must work together to ensure that our children, the future leaders of Ghana, receive the best education possible,” he said.
He further encouraged the public to support schools in their communities rather than relying solely on government intervention.
“Don’t always wait for the government. You can also do your part to support education,” he added.
