This is as a result of a GH¢ 41,000 debt reportedly left behind by the contractors who put up the school.

[contextly_sidebar id=”FD4bPJ1uCxiFDIrXBOum5Hb8L1kpZd7S”]The Headmistress of the School, Elizabeth Sam, who revealed this when members of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education visited the school on Monday, said some staff of the school are forced to carry out some administrative duties in her house as a result of the situation.

“For now, the school has no light. Since the school was handed over to us, he hasn’t paid any bill as yet so it got to a time, the high cost of the electricity bill prompted the Electricity Company of Ghana to come and disconnect us. So he hasn’t paid any bill from the time we came here. The ICT lab, we can’t use it… Most of the administrative work is done in my home,” Mrs. Sam said.

She also decried the inadequate furniture in the school, noting that it had compelled some first-year students to bring personal plastic chairs from their respective homes.

The Chairman of the Committee, Siaka Stevens, said the committee will be working to address some of the challenges raised by the school.

He said it was preparing a report to be submitted to the floor of parliament for a debate and a policy direction.

He added that, the committee will engage the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to discuss the possibility of reconnecting the school to the national grid, while making efforts to reach the contractor to impress on him to pay the GH¢41,000 debt.

The Kwabenya Community Day SHS is among about 50 schools that were commissioned under the previous government’s special program to build 200 new community day Senior High Schools.

The previous government could not complete construction of all the promised 200 schools before it left office in January 2017.

#1. Admit that it is over.
Don’t hang on to the fragile shreds of a relationship whose fabric has weakened beyond repair. Look at it this way — you are letting go of something into which you had invested a huge amount of your time, energy and emotion. Letting go will free them all up once again, giving you a definite point where you can start over.

#2. Don‘t be afraid to cry.

When a close bond breaks, there is bound to be pain. Denying yourself the freedom to express it can make it worse. A Havard study found that those who bottle up their pain have a 140 percent higher risk of heart disease and 170 percent higher risk of cancer than those who share what they are feeling.

#3. Identify what cheers you up, and then do more of it.
Different things work for different people. Some find comfort in writing, others might turn to yoga. Still others get by with a little emotional help from their friends. Just don’t take comfort in high-calorie food, which might provide temporary solace, but can cause serious health and emotional problems in the long run.

#4. Keep the positive, toss away the negative.
There is little good in trying to pin the blame and harbor resentment. The truth is, it is over. You shared some beautiful times together, and those memories are worth holding on to. Also, let no one leave you feeling less than adequate.

#5. Look at the larger picture.
The breaking up of one relationship does not have to mean the end of the world, simply because it isn’t. Also, the end of an affair should not always be seen as a painful event — it is also part of the growth process. American poet Criss Jami put it in beautiful, positive words: “The harder you fall, the heavier your heart; the heavier your heart, the stronger you climb; the stronger you climb, the higher your pedestal.”
