Some basic school pupils in various parts of the Northern Region sit on the bare floor to learn.<\/p>\n

This is largely due to lack of furniture in such schools located in deprived communities.<\/p>\n

This situation is contributing to the falling standard of education in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

There are situations where one teacher handles three or more classrooms a day.<\/p>\n

One of such is Gnani primary school in the Yendi district which lacks classroom furniture.<\/p>\n

Class three pupils of Gnani primary school in the Yendi district sitting on the bare floor studying<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the exception of primary five and six, pupils in primary one to four are compelled to sit on the bare floor and study.<\/p>\n

This is not only retarding academic progress but affecting the children\u2019s health during rainy season.<\/p>\n

Some of the distressed pupils of class three called for government\u2019s immediate intervention.<\/p>\n

The class teacher, Issac Defia said the situation had adverse effects on the pupil\u2019s academic performance.<\/p>\n

Defia Issac added his voice to calls on government to immediately address their numerous challenges.<\/p>\n
