Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, MP for Ablekuma West, has commissioned the renovated Dansoman Special School as a significant milestone in improving education for children with special needs in the constituency.
The new facilities include three classrooms, a staff common room, a principal’s office, and toilet and urinal facilities.
These upgrades address the previous challenges where children were cramped into a single room without adequate amenities.
Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful said she was committed to addressing the difficulties that confront these children.
She expressed her joy in creating a more comfortable and conducive learning environment, including special ramps for children with mobility challenges.
She reaffirmed her belief in inclusive education, emphasising that children with special needs deserve quality education in dignified conditions.
Mr. Christian Julius Aforlah, Municipal Director of Education, Ablekuma West, lauded the MP’s efforts in enhancing education within the constituency.
Madam Charity Lariba Daboya, the School’s Principal, noted that the school serves 50 students but faces challenges, particularly with some parents’ lack of support for their children’s education.
She appealed to corporate entities, philanthropists, and individuals to contribute toward sustaining the school’s operations and the welfare of the children.
This renovation exemplifies the importance of prioritising inclusive infrastructure and fostering a society that supports individuals with diverse needs.
