The Board of Trustees of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) inaugurated a modern four-storey headquarters building on Monday, 23rd December 2024. The facility, located opposite the Trinity Theological Seminary at Mempasem, Legon, Accra, marks a significant milestone in the Fund’s operational history.
Construction of the building commenced in 2021 and was initially scheduled for completion within 24 months. However, unforeseen operational challenges delayed the project. The project consultants, Skrul Consult, acknowledged the delays and apologized to their client, explaining that the factors causing the delays were beyond their control.
“This is a partial handing over of the facility to GETFund for use, as the contractor, Avenue K, and its subcontractors work to fully complete the exterior works,” a representative from Skrul Consult stated during the brief ceremony, which was attended by GETFund staff and members of the Board of Trustees.
Rev. Fr. Sekyere also called for the revival of the Examination Fixing Committee to periodically review and approve fees covered under the FSHS policy.
Mr. Adjei commended CHASS for their resilience in managing schools despite financial and logistical constraints. He reaffirmed GETFund’s commitment to supporting the Free SHS policy and assured CHASS that his administration would engage stakeholders regularly to ensure efficient resource allocation.
“The 2025 Distribution Formula will reflect many of the concerns raised today, demonstrating the government’s commitment to improving education outcomes,” he assured.
