The lives of about fifty (50) visually impaired students at the Blind unit at Three Kings Special School at Adidome in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region, are at risk.
This is because the authorities are compelled to let some of the students pass their nights on the bare floor, due to unavailability of beds for them to sleep on.
The available beds have been poorly made by a carpenter contracted by the Ghana Education Service, resulting in some of the students falling over from their beds.
Three Kings Special School has two units; the school for the mentally challenged at Battor and the school for the blind at Adidome, the District capital.
Unit Headmaster at the school Joseph Dzah disclosed this to Adom News when a group of media practitioners organized a party for inmates and also presented an undisclosed cash to the school on Easter Monday.
Mr. Dzah said his Unit was faced with the problem of accommodation and called on authorities to immediately come to their aid and help the visually impaired.
