A six-unit classroom block that has been abandoned for years would have given great relief to the teachers and school children in Asuofua D/A primary and JHS in the Atwima Nwanbiagya North District of the Ashanti Region if it was completed and handed over to the school for use.
The Asuofua D/A primary and JHS which is the only government school have little or no space to accommodate the over 700 school children.
The Unit committee Secretary of the Asuofua/Asamang electoral area Mr Baba Jinda noted with worry how inadequate space and desks is making teaching and learning ineffective in the school and as a result, some of the students decided to rather stay at home than be in school.
Mr Boakye Yiadom Prince, unit committee member in an interview also noted that three or four classes are mostly taught in just one classroom due to lack of space in the school, making teaching and learning very difficult for both teachers and the school children. Hence, there is urgent need to have something done about the situation.
“Kindergarten one, two and primary one are taught in one small room because of lack of space in the school and this is hampering quality education in the area,” Mr. Boakye Yiadom lamented.
He has has then called on the government to help improve the infrastructure inadequacies in the school.
He has also reiterated the urgent need for the abandoned classroom project started by the member of Parliament Hon Benito Owusu Bio to be completed in order to improve quality education and also help children to stay in school.
Mr Boakye Yiadom stated that children, particularly teenage girls, will be able to stay in school if adequate infrastructure and furniture are provided to help them have a sound mind to learn and be eager to return to school each day.
“It is very important for the government to put the needed educational infrastructure for the various districts to help improve on education and also make our children, especially the girls stay in school,” Mr. Boakye Yiadom said.
Boakye Yiadom wants government to help complete the abandoned school project.
