Nabdam Member of Parliament, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, has shared a heartfelt story about the transformation of a school building in Nangode. Apexnewsgh reports
The MP recalled his first visit to the site, where he found an uncompleted building with inadequate lighting, small windows, and poor ventilation.
Dr. Nawaane drew parallels between the state of the building and his own childhood experiences, where he used lanterns to study in a dark environment, ultimately leading to his need for glasses. This personal connection motivated him to construct a new, well-ventilated building with modern facilities, providing a conducive learning environment for the students of Soliga Junior High School.
The MP expressed his gratitude to various stakeholders, including the Nangode chief and elders, the assembly, the education service, and the community, for their support in making the project a reality. He hoped that the new building would improve the students’ academic performance and provide a comfortable space for them to study, even at night.
Dr. Nawaane’s reflective speech highlighted his commitment to improving education infrastructure and providing opportunities for the youth in Nangode.
GES District Education PRO, Mr. Yenpusak Joseph Nyagre, a representative of the District Education Director took to the stage to express heartfelt gratitude to Member of Parliament, Dr Mark Kurt Nawaane, for his instrumental role in constructing a three-unit classroom building for the local school.
The PRO recalled a poignant moment three years prior when the school’s director was on the verge of tears due to the community’s struggles to provide adequate educational infrastructure. Fast-forward to the present, and the community can now boast of a modern classroom block, courtesy of the MP’s support.
He further seized the opportunity to appeal to community members to protect and maintain the new structure, emphasizing its significance in addressing the longstanding issue of inadequate educational infrastructure in the Napdan area.
With the new classrooms in place, He encouraged students to strive for academic excellence and motivated teachers to deliver their best, now that they have a conducive environment in which to teach.
The speech concluded with a resounding expression of gratitude to the MP, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, and all in attendance, with the optimistic sentiment that the project would fulfill its purpose of enhancing educational outcomes.
The structure has brought immense joy and comfort to the community, particularly the children, who previously struggled to learn in a warm and uncomfortable environment.
Mr. Christopher Teelim, the Soliga JHS school headmaster shared his excitement, stating that the new building has already contributed to an increase in enrollment. For the first time, they have registered over 20 students, a significant improvement from previous years.
Christopher attributed this growth to the new building, emphasizing that good infrastructure has a positive impact on education. He expressed his delight, saying, “I believe that one is a good thing for us. Today is a happy day for us.”
The staff also shared their enthusiasm, highlighting the stark contrast between their old office and the new one. They previously worked in challenging conditions, often sitting on the roof regardless of the weather. Now, they have a comfortable and spacious office, bringing them immense joy.
The community’s appreciation and excitement were palpable as they celebrated the new school building, recognizing its potential to transform education and improve the lives of their children.
