Teachers and students have to fetch the rain water from the classrooms before lessons can resume.

Besides, there is no single week that they don’t kill snakes in the classrooms.

The school building which is just at the verge of collapsing was constructed with mud and sticks which is almost 40 years now.

All these frightening conditions of the school make it very dangerous for them to live in it to carry out teaching and learning activities.

Mr. Abraham Gyabah also disclosed that, the only five teachers who are sacrificing in the school have become fed up with the situation so they are also considering reposting because they can no longer risk their lives under such a disheartening conditions and endure the stress anymore.

Meanwhile, the government through GETFund began a new six classroom unit block and offices in 2017 which is currently at the lentil level but unfortunately, the government has abandoned its own project since 2017 in the bush where rodents and reptiles breed.
