People of Duampormpor Zongo, a farming community between Kumasi and Konongo say perennial flooding is impeding their harvest.They are therefore urging politicians to show some concern while seeking their vote. In one breadth, they seek an educational facility for their children and in another, a new bridge since the one which links up to their farm totally submerges when it rains.It is one of the towns along the road from Konongo and Kumasi. The people here, mostly farmers like to believe they live a simple preferable life with a ready market along the street. But they have a request captioned "To Whom It May Concern". The number one target is government.In this town, electricity is not a problem and although they tampered with the water because it wasn't working to their satisfaction, they still have access to somewhat potable water. For the elderly, the only gutter in the town, is almost evicting them from their own town. Ibrahim heads this village.Their farmlands are hired and so they share their produce with the owners of the land. He has a word for those seeking their vote. We met a lot of children like in many other villages we have visited.Primary education here is free as told by the people themselves. The expectation, every child should be in school but that is not the case. After a brief drop out at primary 2 which he ascribes to his parents, Ibrahim looks forward to going back to school.Repeating class two is obviously not an option he is considering. His counterpart Nasiru would rather stay out of school than tolerate beating from teachers although he admits he is troublesome sometimes. Sulley is still in school and aspires to be a doctor. These children will write the same examinations with their counterparts in the big cities.A trend noticed in our interaction with these children is an acute inability of self-expression in Ghana's official language; English which is also the medium of instruction in schools.It is a common feature for both drop outs and those still in school. Duampopor is not an isolated case. But really, children can still be out of school even if they don't pay fees, the issue might as well be greater than that.The way forward? Well, whether it is a progressively free education or free SHS, it is obvious that the education sector needs urgent attention.
