Two teachers teach six classes at Pramkuma

Pramkuma (E/R), July 8, GNA - Only two teachers are teaching the pupil= s from classes one to six of Pramkuma L/A Primary School, Mr Alfred Owusu, Assemblyman for Pramkuma, said on Thursday.

Unfortunately one of them is leaving to pursue further studies next academic year, leaving the burden to a sole teacher, he said. Mr Owusu disclosed this when the Kwaebibirem District Chief Executive, Mr Reginald Aboagye Osae and his team visited the town as part of his familiarization tour of the district.

The Assemblyman and the Abusuapaning of the community, Opanin Gyabour Akrowiah, therefore appealed for more teachers, public place of convenience and a football park for the school.

The District Development Planning Officer, Mr Alex Asare, promised tha= t teachers would be posted to the school but meanwhile qualified young men an= d women from the town could be employed under the National Youth Employment Scheme to teach at the school. He said since the assembly had a grader, a school park would be constructed and the school would be supplied with desks. At Kwamang, the Chief, Nana Pobi Asamaning, said the community was building a three-unit classroom block for the Catholic school and needed about 80 bags of cement to complete it. The DCE said public place of convenience was vital if sanitation was t= o be improved and assured the people that the assembly would build one for them. Mr Osae called for peace and unity to facilitate development in the town and urged the people to actively participate in communal labour.
