W/N/R : Sefwi Kofi-krom Pupils Appeal For "Death Trap" School Block To Be Fixed

W/N/R : Sefwi Kofi-krom Pupils Appeal For ‘Death Trap’ School Blocks To Be Fixed.

Pupils of Sefwi Kofi-krom D/A Primary School in the Sefwi Juaboso District of the Western North want authorities to help construct a new classroom block for them, because part of their school building has collapsed and other portions have developed deep cracks.

A decent classroom block for pupils of any basic school in Ghana should certainly not be too much to ask.

But in a country where such basic needs almost become a luxury, it is really a big deal to find yourself in a befitting classroom, especially in rural Ghana.

Pupils of Sefwi Kofi-krom Primary School in for instance, are not enjoying this privilege as their classroom blocks have become death trap.

Mr.Richard Dankwan, the headteacher, asked the government to fix their dilapidated classroom blocks to enhance teaching and learning.

He said the school has no toilet facility, which leaves teachers and pupils with no option than to defecate in the bush.

The pupils and teachers are much more concerned about the state of their classrooms.

The structure housing some pupils in the upper primary, which was built by community members some years ago, is also not in the best of shapes.
