Pupils of Nkowi D/A Junior High School in the Bosomtwi District of the Ashanti Region are challenged in accessing educational resources to improve their learning.
The school and the local community also battle access to sanitation facilities.
Headmaster of Nkowi JHS, Daniel Nyarko, says the school has faced challenges in accessing learning materials and poor sanitation for the past decade.
This has been communicated to the district education directorate seeking support and solutions to enhance the school’s conditions and resources.
The headmaster noted the school is also faced with the challenge of poor classroom facilities, lack of furniture, and a lack of potable drinking water.
Additionally, he pointed out that studying ICT has become increasingly difficult. Addressing these issues could significantly improve the learning environment.
As an intervention, Up African Movement, a non-governmental organization, donated stationery, school uniforms, football and various learning materials to the school.
Director of the organization, David Megar, expressed his commitment to providing even greater support for the school in the years ahead.
The chief of Nkowi, Nana Opoku Agyapong, has called for collaborations in enhancing the living standards in Nkowi and surrounding communities.
He sought support in the construction of a clinic, roads and public toilets for the community.
