He added: “the committee finds the project immensely important towards enhancing secondary education in Ghana, to help provide more secondary level graduates with the relevant skills to enter tertiary institutions and the labour market.”
The approval of the loan facility comes after government has given out contracts for the construction of 9,500 single desks, and 13, 100 bunk beds to SHS facility infrastructure challenges.
