The fate of 350 students posted to Dabala Senior High Technical School (DASTECH), at Dabala in the South Tongu District is in limbo as there are virtually no classrooms and dormitories for them.
The school is unable to use a new 15-room Ghana Education Trust Fund project because Messrs Saba Construction Limited, which did the job, has refused to give up the keys to the facility.
The construction firm alleged that government had not paid the project cost and therefore ignored the intervention of the District Assembly and the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and the Board to release the keys.
In view of the dilemma, the school management is threatening to send the students home.
Mr Simon Aklomasa Addae-Conutsey, Headmaster told the Ghana News Agency that “there is no alternative than sending the students home”, and appealed to government to intervene.
Mr Martin Afianu Gatsola, PTA Chairman said an urgent solution is required to end the stalemate.
Mr Fred Saba, Foreman of the construction firm said a certificate of work has been presented to government for payment
