Huni Valley (W/R), June 29, GNA- Recent rainstorms had submerged parts of the Huni Valley Secondary School in the Wassa West District. The teachers and headmaster’s bungalows and the main roads leading to the school have been flooded thus making movement within the school difficult.
Mr. Thomas Kodjoe Tandoh, headmaster of the school, disclosed these in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at Huni Valley on Thursday. He said the school, established in 1975 with 25 students and now with a population of 839, had no drainage facilities. Mr. Tandoh said the school was built on land that was susceptible to flooding and the entire campus became flooded after the slightest rain.
Mr. Tandoh said the lack of a teachers quarters and a boy’s dormitory and a school library was a disincentive for teaching and learning.
He explained that 24 teachers were currently occupying an eight-unit accommodation block meant for eight teachers while a six-classroom block had been converted into a boy’s dormitory. Mr. Tandoh stressed that though the school needed about 40 teachers the lack of accommodation facilities was preventing other teachers from joining the school.
He said the school’s mini bus was draining the resources of the school and called for assistance from individuals, organisations and the GETFUND.
