Students Are Forced To Study Under Trees After Heavy Rainstorm Rip-Off Nua-Nua Fantse Basic School

A devastating rainstorm swept through Assin Nua-Nua Fantse Junior High School in the Assin South District of the Central Region, destroying the school block and leaving students without a classroom.

The strong winds that accompanied the rain ripped off the roof, causing extensive damage to the building, including cracks in the pillars and walls. Furniture and teaching materials were also left exposed to the elements.

According to Mr. Peter Komladza, the Headteacher of the school, the situation has forced them to conduct classes under trees as a temporary measure.

He emphasized that the situation has severely impacted teaching and learning, and urgent attention is needed to address the issue.

Mr. Komladza stated that the damaged block was beyond repair and appealed to the government, regional minister, and Assin South District Assembly to build a new JHS block for the school.

Residents are also calling on old students, the MP for Assin South, Rev. Jonh Ntim Fordjour, to support the school in its time of need.

Honourable Timothy Sakyi, Assemblymember for Assin Adiembra-Nuanua Electoral Area, outlined the measures being taken to address the situation and reiterated the appeal for support.
