The dilapidated basic school, built with laterite which serves the whole of the community and neighbouring communities, has been left to rot without any maintenance. Though it’s not clear the exact year the school was established, some believe it’s over 90 years old, built under the former British administration and it is the only government basic school serving 20 communities within the area. Head teacher of the school, Miss Elizabeth Bansah said the school of some 400 pupils is in distress and urgent steps must be taken to salvage the situation. He said the school is forced to close and the pupils asked to go home anytime it’s about to rain.
