Regional News of Saturday, 17 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comCorrespondence from Upper West RegionSome school pupils learn while lying on their bellies with two other classes studying under "death traps" at Bande Basic school in the Sissala East Constituency. The pupils in Kindergarten to primary 6 lie on their bellies to learn due to lack of furniture. He added that the Junior High School also has a shortage in furniture, and the pupils are mostly asked to bring their own furniture from home. He also said the situation has had a toll on their attendance because the pupils do not find the structures motivating to be coming to school. He also mentioned other schools including Jejen, Sentie and Sakalu Basic Schools were equally facing serious furniture deficits in his catchment area.
