POOR INFRASTRUCTURE A MAJOR PROBLEM AT OKRA AGYEI D/A BASIC SCHOOL

Residents of Okraa Agyei, a community within the Kwahu South District in the Eastern Region are calling on the Government, to come to their aid and provide them with classroom blocks and learning materials for Okraa Agyei D/A primary school.
With the population of over 300 pupils, the school can only boast of three mud unit classroom block which was built for children in nursery and kindergarten.

The bad condition of the classroom compels teachers to hold classes in budges in uncompleted mud structures and there are no lessons during raining season because there are no shelters.


The students complained of teaching and learning materials and ICT equipments to be used by the teachers to teach them.
Most of the teachers in the school say poor condition of the building and broken furniture’s makes students uncomfortable during classes hours and contributes to the high rate of absenteeism as well as low performance in exams and poor academic achievement.

In addition to this, the school cannot boast of library, ICT laboratory and equipment’s, and teachers bungalow resulting in academic performance falling at an increasing rate over years.
Some students and teachers took to their heels to build a two mud classroom block for nursery and KG1.


“The classroom block used by class 5 students was rented from the church in the community” they added.
