Ahwia Basic School a death trap; teachers call for new blocks [Video]

-

Teachers of Ahwia Basic School in the Ashanti Region have appealed for help to construct a new classroom block to replace their dilapidated school structure.

Portions of the upper primary school block have collapsed with deep cracks posing threat to users.

Ahwia, a farming community in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of Ashanti Region, has this basic school serving pupils in the community.

The structure housing pupils in upper primary was built by the community years ago.

It is currently in a deplorable state.
