Kade Senior High Technical School in the Kwaebibirem District of the Eastern Region has converted its former pigsty into classrooms to facilitate the enrolment of first year students for the 2010/2011 academic year.
This is in furtherance of government's directive to heads of public second cycle schools to use available spaces to accommodate first year students.
The headmaster, Mr Rexford Boadi-Danquah, who made this known to Ghana News Agency at Kade, said though 333 students got admission to the school under the Computerised School Selection and Placement System, "there are no classrooms to accommodate all of them".
"In spite of a promise by the Ghana Education Service that the school is among 160 schools selected to benefit from the construction of a six-unit classroom block project each, there is nothing on the ground to show, as no contractor has moved to the school to start any construction," he stressed.
Mr Boadi-Danquah noted that the completion of a seven- classroom block project being undertaken by the parent-teacher association at the school's new site would help solve the problem.
