The headmaster of Korasua No.1 Municipal Assembly (MA) Basic School in the Sunyani East Municipal Assembly of the Bono Region, Abraham Nsoah Kaabiwi, has appealed to the government, organizations, and philanthropists to come to their aid after a strong wind brought the already weak kindergarten structure down.

Over 55 pupils are now without a permanent learning place as they either share a classroom with other pupils or make do under a tree.

Explaining the circumstances leading to the collapse of the wooden structure built by the community many years ago, Mr Nsoah Kaabiwi said it became weak over time due to the activities of termites.

"It was by the Grace of God that we decided to evacuate the children from the structure, which later collapsed less than two days after by a strong wind," he said.

He said the situation continues to impact negatively on teaching and learning.

Joy News checks indicate the Municipal Assembly and the Municipal Education Directorate are aware of the school's predicament.

"Even today, if you are learning in a classroom, there are distractions, how much more KG children who hear the sound of birds and moving vehicles while learning outside," he said and added that they spend more of the time during class hours trying to control the children.

He said the absence of the structure has become a burden on the school and the farming community.

"Our utmost wish is to have a proper classroom for our children, so we appeal to the government, organizations, and philanthropists to come to the aid of Korasua No.1 so that we can have a new KG structure for the children," he appealed.

He also appealed to the government to extend the school feeding program to the Korasua No.1 MA Basic School to arrest the continuous reduction of the school's population.

He made the appeal when the Rotary Club of Sunyani East and their partners handed over a 6-unit refurbished micro flush latrine with mechanized hand pump with storage tank to the Korasua No.1 M/A Basic School.

Meanwhile, Mr Abraham Nsoah Kaabiwi, says another issue that needs urgent attention is teachers commuting to the school due to its location and the nature of the road leading to the community.

"We worry that we don't have quarters for the teachers," he bemoaned and revealed that they had written several letters to authorities for help but to no avail.

He said with the availability of teachers' quarters, staff can stay in the community during the week and return to their homes during the weekend.

"This will help many teachers to accept postings to the community," he said.
