Dadematse of Asesewa, the next town to the municipal capital, in the Upper Manya Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region of Ghana, Nene Addo John Teye has called for Non-Governmental Organisations, and stakeholders as well as individuals to assist the Town’s Community A, D/A Primary School to as a matter of urgency help move the pupils out of their deplorable and a death trap structure.
The chief who appealed to the media, bemoaned, "the school needs assistance to enable it to produce quality students for the community and the entire country.
The Asesewa Community A, D/A Primary School, situated in the heart of the town, lacks infrastructure, basic learning and teaching essentials.
"Inadequate of furniture and toilet facilities for both students and teachers, ICT laboratory, teaching and learning materials among others coupled with the weak building serving as classrooms", he said.
Teachers find their staff common room under a Neem tree which serves as their staff common room in a town like Asesewa.
Also, due to the absence of an ICT laboratory, teachers have to Sketch a computer and its components on the board to aid the teaching of the subject, a situation they believe is too tough to comprehend in this modern era.
Chairman of the School’s Management Committee, Samuel Tettey Kwame told the media that, the school has been in a deplorable state for a while.
He noted that inadequate furniture is also making the pupils learning unattractive, "as we speak the school needs not less than 150 pieces of furniture and a proper building for pupils to study in, urgently".
The students currently study under sheds roofed with thatch and palm branches making it impossible for lessons to be held whenever it rains, adding that snakes and lizards, as well as other reptiles, interrupts classes making teaching extremely difficult.
Mr Tettey, therefore, appealed to the people of Asesewa living in the diaspora and all persons who can be of help to come to the aid of the school.
