Some lower primary pupils of the Kpobikope D/A Primary School in the Ga West Municipality continue to study under trees and sheds, despite the completion of a classroom block for the school two months ago. This is because the classroom block, which was built as part of government’s efforts to eliminate children studying under trees, remains locked awaiting furniture and its official inauguration. The pupils are, however, using some chairs and tables under the trees and have to be cramped into existing classrooms anytime it rains. The keys to the new block are in the custody of the Ga West Municipal assembly. Officials maintain that the new building needs to be well-furnished to adequately cater for the needs of the pupils. According to the Headmaster of the school, Mr James Badji, the classroom block was completed about two months ago and the keys to the classrooms were handed over to the officials. He said the pupils felt insecure anytime it rained which also affected smooth academic work. “We informed the Municipal Chief Executive about it but he also insisted that the classroom block needs to be inaugurated before use”, he said. When the Daily Graphic contacted the Public Relations Officer•(PRO) of the Ga West Municipal assembly, he said a contract had been awarded for the procurement of new furniture to be used in the new classrooms and that the assembly was waiting for the furniture before the classroom would be inaugurated for use. “Since it is a new building, we also want the furniture to be new before opening them”, he said.
