The Chief Executive Officer of State Transport Corporation (STC), Nana Akomea, has described as a "misplaced priority" the construction of the E-block schools.

The E-block infrastructure project which was started under the erstwhile Mahama administration was aimed at increasing access to secondary school education. 

Nana Akomea speaking to controversies surrounding the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) said since most parents are determined to take their wards to a grade 'A' or 'B' school, the money invested in the E-block project could have been used to expand schools with "the highest demand".

The STC boss who was speaking during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' added: "So far as there are differences between the school and nothing has been made to get rid of the differences, that pressure will always be there. That is why I disagree with NDC's E-block project; I think it is a misplaced priority. How many of these parents say they want their wards to go to E-Block schools? They want to go to Presec, Achimota, Accra Academy . . . so if we have the resources, why are we not expanding the infrastructure of the schools having the high demands?"
