I recently picked up my nephew from a certain school near Dokojom(Kumasi)and was alarmed to see pupils running and playing outside the school compund near a major highway used by timber transporters.I had a hard time getting the kids to leave and return to the school with me.I tracked the headmistress to inform her about the kids and found her talking with another teacher in a classroom on the third floor.This floor had no guard rails at many places and very low and short rails at other places.Most of the windows were either broken or missing making this floor extremely dangerous and unsuitable to house kids at that hyperactive age.The headmistress told me in no uncertain terms that everything was under control and the school had not had a single fatality since it's establishment over 40Years ago.Now,this is a very good school which has produced many great scholars and professionals but does that mean we must gamble with our children's safety just to access the top class education they provide?I think parents and PTAs must get involved and insist that all schools be made safe with simple child/injury proof measures to spare us from these senseless and very preventable accidents in the future.Also parents MUST sue the G.E.S,HEADPERSONS AND SCHOOL OWNERS for all preventable injuries and deaths.

The authorities must perform the relevant rituals else his spirit will forever live in the house. May he rest in peace and wish the survival speedy recovery.

What spirit are talking about. Are still holding on to this primitive mind-set my brother? The earlier you rid yourself of it the better it would be for you.

Glad you asked and it's all about what each of us believe. I have had a first hand practical experience of such a situation that's why I said that. However, I do respect your beliefs and thanks for sharing. Have a good day.

Gyedabi, it's only fear n nothing else that makes people feel they see spirit, the bases of superstition is just fear, when you walk in the dark n u r afraid ur mind create some images that you think it is real but in reality it is only an imaginary pictures of your mind, So those who are afraid in such circumstances can be helped if a superstitious person comes to perform Something to show he has dispel the spirit for them to overcome the fear, else there is nothing to be afraid of in reality.

The police must investigate. It would be unprofessional for them to just conclude it was an accident. Was he pushed? This matter is above the school authorities. Where are the police?

Pure evil where students learn to abuse other people's children.

We wait for the day this evil institution called boarding houses will be banished so parents can assume the responsibilities once more.

I disagree. In the olden days people attended Prempeh for seven years, Forms 1-5 plus Lower and Upper 6 without a single incident of such nature.
Youth of today are just in their own bubbles like our judges. Rogues. It was not long ago when a student at St. Augustine in Cape Coast also jumped from the third floor to do his death because he was trying to dodge the Master on duty who was on inspection. However may the soul of this unfortunate boy rest in peace.

hope others who witnessed incident, and love ones receive therapy. Witnessing/experiencing such traumatic situations can have long term effect in individuals, especially adolescents.

What an unfortunate accident! The other student should be charged with murder. He should not be allowed to go free after sending his friend to such an awful death.

What are you going to charge the child for? Manslaughter? Murder? This was a typical behavior or kids at that age.We all know that he didn't mean to harm his friend.What I want to know is why are the school structures a death trap?A few months ago a student was almost electrocuted by hanging wires near his classroom.When is Ghana Education Service going to start doing their job in inspecting these schools instead of taking bribes.

@mensah you called final year students kids. They may be 18years or even more than that and can be charged for manslaughter if it can be proved he pushed his friend though not intended to kill him.

My heart is heavy with devastated emotions. Its difficult for me to imagine how parents of the affected students & school administration would receive this terrible nightmare of a news.
