The Kpandai Senior High School in the Northern Region marked their 25th anniversary with\u00a0its first speech and prize giving day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The anniversary was used to award deserving students and non-teaching staff who have distinguished themselves and dedicated their service to the school since its establishment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The school was established on January 28, 1991 with 31 students, but its student population has grown remarkably since then.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking at the speech day ceremony, the headmaster of the school, Richard Sibeko, bemoaned the lack of infrastructure development at the school despite the 25 year milestone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI am constrained as far as structures are concerned,\u201d he stated as he explained the pressure on the school’s facilities.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Sibeko, some of the classrooms have been converted into dormitories because of lack of space for the students.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe building housing the girls is in a very deplorable state. Most of the facilities are over stretched. I have been forced to convert some of my dormitories to house some boys and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that there are some ongoing Ghana Education Trust fund (Getfund) infrastructure projects but they are moving at a \u201csnail speed\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAn 8-room GETfund girl\u2019s dormitory started in 2010 but was\u00a0only roofed about a month ago and another five room dormitory is only at foundation level,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr. Sibeko\u00a0is of the view that if he does not voice out his concerns, nobody will come to the school’s\u00a0aid.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am sharing this litany of challenges that I have because if I don\u2019t cry, nobody will come to my assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n
