SANOYEA, BONG COUNTY – The only public Elementary School in Kamara-Ta, Sanoyea, Bong County Electoral District #7 is lying in a state of deplorable condition, as students sit on the grounds to write.
Speaking in an interview with an Informer Newspaper reporter recently in Kamara-Ta following a tour in the district, the Youth President of the Town, Aloysious Joe revealed that the school is experiencing serious shortages of armchairs, as the kindergarten division used mats to sit on.
According to him, parents have been asked to provide mats as a means for their children to sit during school hours, something he described as a serious embarrassment and deplorable situation for the learning condition of the kids.
The Kamara-Ta Youth President put the estimated number of students that are attending the school at over a hundred; with some students hailing from other nearby towns and villages in the district.
“If nothing is done to curtail the growing embarrassment, the school administration might not run the school for the next academic year, because the school building is also experiencing leakages,” Mr. Joe stressed.
The Kamara-Ta’s Youth President and some parents, meanwhile used the medium to call on the Ministry of Education through the Bong County School System and humanitarians to come to the aid of the school.
They said kids and youths in the town are in dire need of quality education; as such, MOE should urgently intervene in the lack of chairs situation and create a conducive atmosphere for learning.
The citizens also added that the provision of safe drinking water is another impediment on the campus as students of the school walk over 30 minutes to get drinking water which sometimes causes students to stay away from school, especially the kids.
He disclosed that the construction of a hand pump and toilet facility will help to curtail some of the difficulties students are going through on campus.
