A total of 12 primary schools in the Tolon District of the Northern Region have been affected by a severe rainstorm which ripped off the roofs of their classroom blocks.
One of such schools is Woribogu Ahmadiya Primary School where all upper primary pupils there have resumed studies under trees.
With the continuous rains, the most of the distressed pupils will be absent in school depending on the weather condition.
[contextly_sidebar id=”l5HiEzBWw1id81MD6XfhYpTRA06bveFZ”]Head teacher of Woribogu Ahmadiya Primary School, Christiana Alandong decried the situation and said her administration was compelled to camp the lower pupils under trees as a means of creating space to accommodate the displaced upper primary pupils.
She called for the immediate aid from government and Non Governmental Organizations.
Tolon District Director of Education, Amoli Abaako, advised the head teacher to rather maintain the lower primary pupils in their classrooms and keep the upper primary pupils under the trees.
He was however quick to assure the school authorities of the assembly’s preparedness to re-roof the school building.
Touched by the plight of the pupils, Northern Ghana Manager of Bayport Financial Services, William Majeed Mahama promised that management of the institution will assist in re-roofing the building.
Despite the prevailing circumstance, he encouraged the pupils to aspire to become responsible citizens.
Each pupil at the upper primary level received two branded Bayport Financial Services exercise books whilst those newly admitted pupils into the lower primary enjoyed some drinks.
