The Head Teacher for Bosuso Presbyterian Primary school in the Fanteakwa South District of the Eastern region, Mr Felix Ofoe Teye has expressed worry over the risk posed to the of lives of his pupils who are compelled to study under a death trap school block.

According to him, the school building has turned into a death trap due to its dilapidated state. He says whenever it rains authorities are forced to close the school or move the students from the building over fears it might collapse.

He expressed concern about the safety of the school children saying he fears of a disaster if nothing is done about the situation.

The headmaster mentioned that, not long ago, the District chief Executive for Fanteakwa south Assembly, Nturi Adgabeng whiles on an inspection visit to the school promised that the situation will be dealt with.

Mr Teye lamented that with the rainy season almost upon us, there is the need for urgent attention to be given to the plight of the school. He therefore appealed to institutions, NGOs and philanthropists to come to the aid of the school.

ICT

He added that through World Vision Ghana, a non-governmental organisation, the school received a donation of tablets and a projector which is being used to teach ICT to the students. He appealed for more support in the form of computers in order to be able to cater for the students whose population exceeds the tablets the school currently has.
