E/R: Azza M/A JHS' bamboo & mud structure death trap
A bamboo structure which serves as classrooms for pupils of the Azza M/A Junior High School (JHS) in the Yilo Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region, risks collapsing if appropriate steps are not taken to salvage it.
The structure, which was constructed with bamboo and mud by members of the community in the year 2012, has decayed.
Although the headmaster of the school declined to speak, the Assemblyman for the Abrewankor electoral area, Mr Nyumutwu, told CTV News’ Ahmed Kamal that he wrote a letter to the Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly to draw its attention to the school structure.
In a follow-up, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) indicated that the school was not an approved institution.
Mr Nyumutwu, however, noted that the school is recognised by the Ghana Education Service (GES) because it would not have posted teachers there if the converse situation were the case.
He further disclosed that the school lacks furniture for pupils as 80 per cent of the desks are broken.
Also, the boreholes in the community are out of order, leaving the residents with no proper source of potable water.
Those in charge of preparing meals for the school under the government’s school feeding programme, also have to rely on a stream for water to cook.
The situation, he stressed, was unhealthy for the schoolchildren.
He, therefore, appealed to the government and non-governmental organisations to come to the aid of the school and residents of the community.
