Pupils still studying under trees in Tolon

Hundreds of basic school pupils in the Tolon District of the Northern Region have been forced to study under trees. This is because 12 basic school blocks which were ripped off by rainstorm in the area are yet to be repaired. The disaster occurred several months ago and one of the affected schools was Woribogu Ahmadiya Primary School. Additionally, some of the classrooms are overcrowded due to inadequate infrastructure. Head teacher of Woribogu Ahmadiya Primary School, Christiana Alandong earlier called for government’s immediate attention. The Member of Parliament for Tolon, Hon. Wahab Suhuyini Wumbei told Citi News plans were afoot to fix the problem. According to the Tolon Legislator, the District Assembly awarded the contracts and expected that work will start soon. Hon. Wahab Suhuyini Wumbei said he lobbied for enough infrastructure to decongest overcrowded schools in the district. Hon. Wahab Suhuyini Wumbei thereby admonished parents and guardians in the area to invest in their children’s education.
