The District Chief Executive of Asutifi South in the Ahafo Region, Mr Robert Dwomoh Mensah has mercilessly locked up the newly built school block for Amanfrom L/A Primary School despite learning and teaching activities taking effect in an old death-trap building.
According to parents, the old school building is dilapidated to the extent that, it could collapse and kill their wards at any point in time.
Speaking to Oyerepa news, the parents disclosed that, a new school block has been completed but the DCE; Mr Robert Dwomoh Mensah has locked it up over non-commissioning.
They disclosed that the Parents at the Teachers Association of the school a couple of days ago allowed the pupils to study in the new building, however, the DCE, Robert Dwomoh seized the keys of the facility and locked it up, claiming that, it has not been commissioned.
Despite the old edifice turned into a death trap, he will only allow the kids to study in the new building after it has been officially commissioned by the government.
Consequently, the parents are furious with the DCE’s inhumane actions and have threatened to drop their kids from school to prevent future accidents or death.
“The old school building is a death trap, so we allowed the pupils to study in the new block built by the district assembly. But the DCE (Robert Dwomoh) ordered us to evacuate our children from the new building to study under the death-trap block because the new one hasn’t been commissioned. However, we can’t allow our kids to study in that death-trap building because just yesterday, a rainstorm wiped out part of its roofing and this is very dangerous for the lives of our children because it might collapse and kill them. So if the DCE won’t allow the children to study in the new edifice, we’ll not allow them to go to school, they’ll stay home.” The parents lamented.
