Government Bilingual High School (GBHS) Bamenda Campus B is entering a new phase of classroom learning with the installation of 27 foldable green boards in its newly rehabilitated classrooms.
The boards, installed one in each of the 27 renovated classrooms, form part of rehabilitation works implemented under the Program for Reconstruction and Development of the North-West and South-West Regions (PPRD) by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with financial support from the Islamic Development Bank.
Unlike conventional fixed blackboards, the foldable boards give teachers additional writing space. They can keep earlier notes visible while continuing with new parts of a lesson, making it easier to build on explanations without constantly erasing information.
The green surface is also designed to improve visibility by reducing glare and providing clearer contrast between the writing and the board. This could make lessons easier to follow for students seated at different points in the classroom.
The installation is part of a broader rehabilitation of GBHS Bamenda, which covers 27 classrooms across Blocks A to G. The works also include improved sanitation facilities, paved walkways, a dining shed, security and discipline facilities, retaining walls and fencing. The rehabilitation works were executed by Dreamland Connect PLC.
Speaking during the provisional reception of the works, Dreamland Connect Chief Executive Officer Tantoh Edison Fru Ndi said the company remained committed to delivering beyond expectations. He also expressed appreciation to UNDP for supporting solutions that respond directly to local needs.
For GBHS Bamenda, the new boards are more than an upgrade to classroom furniture. They bring additional writing space and flexibility to everyday teaching, complementing the wider improvements made to the school environment.
As teachers and students return to the renovated classrooms, the real measure of the intervention will be how effectively these improvements support teaching and learning.
