Anambra embarks on Construction of 80 Room capacity residential blocks for teachers
From Odogwu Emeka Odogwu, Awka
The Anambra State Government is presently constructing eighty (80)
room residential blocks for teachers in seven hard-to-reach communities
of the state.
Governor
Willie Obiano disclosed this during a reception organized by the State
in honor of students of Regina Paecis Model Secondary School, Onitsha
who won the World Technovation Challenge held recently in San Francisco,
USA.
Governor Obiano, who explained that the
initiative was to encourage teachers posted to hard-to-reach areas of
the State to deliver on their service, said the apartments will be made
available to the teachers free of charge.
He
recalled that to support education in the areas, his government has
sustained payment of additional quarters of their salaries to the
teachers posted to the hard-to-reach areas and the result has improved
quality of education in the areas.
The
governor revealed that his government is presently paying attention to a
study it conducted in collaboration with the United Nations on the girl
child education which reflected very low indices
for
the State in some agrarian communities, adding that to address this,
plans are ongoing to construct migrant schools near the farms to enable
the children of farmers attend school.
Governor
Obiano, who noted that the achievement by the World Technovation
Challenge Champions was enough evidence that the State Education Sector
is witnessing tremendous transformation, said his administration will
redouble its efforts at ensuring that the State maintains its position
in education.
It
will be recalled that at the ceremony, Governor Obiano had presented
cheques for one million naira each to the six students who won the World
Technovation Challenge as well as announced scholarships for them up to
their first University degrees.
