11 Injured after the walls of two classrooms collapsed on them.

At least 11 pupils of the Paga E-A primary school in the Kassena-Nankana West District in the Upper East Region have been left injured after the walls of two classrooms collapsed on them.

A heavy rainstorm on Monday (21 March) swept through the town and ripped off the roofs of buildings and schools in the town. The school officials said the wounded pupils have been rushed to the Paga District Hospital for medical attention, adding no lives were lost.

The headmaster of the school, Addiyire Peter Ajegiwe, told the media that, “failure on the part of local authorities to renovate the dilapidated school building despite knowing its condition is to blame for the disaster.”
