Pakyi Nkroma Basic School in dire need of classrooms support, renovation

Pakyi Nkroma Basic School is in dire need of help and renovation as their classroom blocks are in a deplorable state.

150 pupils of Pakyi Nkroma Basic School in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region, learn under non-condusive environment as their classroom blocks collapsed.

A visit to the locality by Filasco DeGeneral unearthed that, the over Hundred and Fifty pupils in those classrooms have been forcibly combined in a single room to study.

Speaking to some elders in the community, they affirmed the challenges of the current situation of the school, saying, learning and teaching have become difficult for both teachers and students.

“You’re looking at the deplorable condition of the school yourself now, just imagine how teaching and learning would be for staffs and pupils”, they stressed.

They said, the situation has made staffs unwilling and unhappy to teaching in the community.

Some caretakers in the community, unit committee members, youth activists and some concerned residents disclosed during the visit that, a ceremony was held by the community to solicit for funds for the construction and renovation of the school blocks but some elders in the town have squandered the money, leaving the lamentable situation untouched.

However, the other classrooms meant for the upper basic school students are all in dire need of help.

The vents and doors of the rooms are wretched. Floors of the rooms very appalling with rusted and rickety roofs.

The people are therefore calling for probe over the whereabouts of their funds and also calling on MoE, GES and other stakeholders to as a matter of urgency come to their aid.
