Construction of the Ensign College of Public Health, near Kpong in the Eastern Region, shows a positive approach to rural development via relevant education. It is encouraging to see the move to put training facilities, for the people, amongst the people. The need to place such institutions away from the already overburdened cities, not only helps socio-economic growth, but also makes access to education and training more approachable for those with responsibilities to their families living in the rural areas. Lower Manya Krobo has shown positive developments in providing education in many aspects within its own borders (including engineering and flight training), and must be applauded for this latest move towards regional growth.
