A sound environment is very important for teaching and learning. But this was not the case for students of Agona Nyakrom Methodist B Junior High School.
Being an old school, the structure from the primary school to the JHS is so dilapidated people fear it may collapse at any time.
But intervention by the Member of Parliament for Agona West, Charles Obeng-Inkoom to rehabilitate all the school blocks has given some hope to the students and teachers.
The Member of Parliament who hopes to spend about fifty thousand Ghana cedis to make the structure strong and convenient for studies disclosed that GH25, 000.00 has already been spent from the HIPC fund and since the Finance Ministry has already approved another tranche of the same fund to be released, it will also be channeled to ensure the whole project is complete.
He noted that it was sad that school had to close any time there were signs of rainfall, a situation that deprive the students of important instructional hours. He said the support is to give the students a better life and encourage them to study hard for their own good in future.
the Ghana Education Trust Fund, (GETFund) though recognized the difficult situation the school found itself started putting up a 6-unit school block for the school but this has also been abandoned at the foundation level for lack of funds. Hence, until the new GETFund project is completed, the school would have to rely on the current structure for their studies.
