A dilapidated structure that serves as classrooms for pupils of the Kukua M/A Junior High School (JHS) in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region, risks collapsing if appropriate steps are not taken to salvage it.
Although the students of the school authoritatively state that, the school authorities have written a letter to the Suhum Municipal Assembly to draw its attention to the school structure on several occasions the assembly have failed to act to be the situation.
They came to put up the new building for them but have abandoned the project.
The deep cracks in the walls of the structure pose a great danger to the students the parents in the community have warned school authorities on several occasions not to allow students to learn under the dilapidated school structure.
The school structure needs urgent rehabilitation to avoid any disaster as parts of the roofing leakage have been ripped off with some pieces hanging.
Students of Kukua M/A speaking in an interview with Alrich24newsgh.com news reporter Apelete Kofi-Michel said parents prevented their kids from attending to classroom due to the state of the school.
According to them, we students in Kukua M/A Junior High School and other communities are discouraged and do not find it pleasant and exciting to return to the death trap as the school has become a habitat for goats, weeds, lizards, snakes and other dangerous reptiles.
The situation is very disheartening and pathetic. The poor condition of the school is affecting teaching and learning in the school. We are calling on the government, NGOs and stakeholders to come to our aid, they pleaded.
The Kukua M/A Junior High School has a population of about many pupils and has now become a death trap. They said.
