Reverend Paa Solomon Grant-Essilfie, Headmaster of the Saltpond Methodist Senior High School, has appealed to the Ministry of Education Science and Sports to provide the school with a new administration block.
In a “Save Our Souls” (SOS) appeal to the Ministry, Rev Grant-Essilfie said the school's administration block was a wooden storey building built in 1905 by the United Trading Company (UTC) to serve as their offices.
The Headmaster said the school acquired the building when it was established in 1981.
He said though the building had undergone some repairs, it has reached a stage where more repairs could no longer salvage it from collapse.
"Some portions of the structure have started caving in thus posing danger to life and property, the Headmaster stated.
Rev Grant-Essilfie said about a month ago, part of the ceilings of the structure collapsed on the head of one of the non-teaching staff of the school resulting in her admission to the Saltpond Government Hospital for one week.
"I do not know what will happen in future if we should continue to use the dilapidated structure as our administration block", he stated.
We appreciate what the government has done for the school but since it is life and death matter we are pleading that you consider us once more", the Headmaster pleaded.
