Students of Adanse Fumso Islamic Basic School in the Adanse Asokwa District of the Ashanti Region are studying in a dilapidated structure that lacks basic furniture and infrastructure.

The school’s weak building has raised serious concerns among parents, who fear it could collapse and harm the students.

A visit to the school revealed that dozens of pupils are forced to sit on the bare floor during lessons due to the lack of desks and chairs.

Some students have never seen a working computer in their lives and are appealing to authorities for urgent support.

The Headmistress, Alimatu Seidu, explained that the poor state of the school’s infrastructure discourages many children from attending.

“The structure is now a death trap for students, causing fear and panic anytime there is a rainstorm,” she said.

“We have basically nothing; no washrooms, no furniture, and no materials needed for proper teaching and learning.”

Despite several inspections by Non-Governmental Organizations and officials of the District Assembly, the school has yet to receive any support.

The Headmistress has appealed for immediate intervention to provide the necessary infrastructure and learning materials to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for the students.
