Fobih, Minister for Education, Science and Sports, said on
Friday.
Additionally, as part of a programme to upgrade the Training
Colleges, the Principals of all the 38 Training Colleges

Prof Fobih made the announcement in Parliament in answer to
a question asked by Dr Owusu Achaw Duah (NPP-Offinso South).
Dr Duah had wanted to know when the Offinso Teacher Training

transportation problems facing the College.
Prof Fobih in an answer, said the College had been allocated
a bus under the allocation of the buses to the Training
Colleges.
The Minister also reiterated Government's policy to upgrade
at least one Senior High school in each district to a model
status and announced that phase one of the programme had
almost been completed.
He promised to furnish the House with a list of 25 Senior
High Schools for which he said contract for a second phase
of the upgrading programme had been awarded.
Prof Fobih said Dwamena Akenten Senior High School for which
Dr Duah had asked when it would be upgraded into a model
school, might be considered in the next phase of the
upgrading programme.
He said the Nyinahin Catholic Senior High School, in the
Atwima Mponua Constituency might be selected when remaining
districts were being considered for upgrading.
