Pupils of Buya D/A Primary School in the Kpandai District of the Northern region, who are forced to sit on bare floors to learn due to the lack of furniture, are appealing to the government for support.
During a visit to the school by Adom News’ Regional Correspondent, Illiasu Rauf, he observed cracks on the school block and found the floor of the classrooms to be rough with many of the windows and doors broken.

In an interview with Adom News, headmaster of the school, Mr Kanyidin Nakuwu Kennedy, said the school had not witnessed any form of renovation since its establishment.
“The problem is not for only pupils but our teachers also don’t have furniture to sit on so at times we find it difficult to mark class works and assignments. The nature of our building is also bad and gradually collapsing and forces us to close anytime it rains,” he said.

Some pupils, who spoke to Adom News, appealed to the government, their Member of Parliament, Matthew Nyindam as well as non-governmental organisations to come to their aid as a matter of agency because they are now battling with back and neck pains.
One female pupil, Jemima added that her parents threatened to withdraw her from the school after she once fell from the window and got injured.
“I resisted when my mother on several occasions wanted to withdraw me from this school. Due to its deplorable nature, most parents have withdrawn their wards,” she said.
