The Local Manager of Presbyterian schools in Hwidiem, Reverend Oppong Adjei, has called on the government to urgently complete and commission a new school block that has been left abandoned for the past 16 years.
Speaking to Adom News, Rev. Oppong Adjei described the current state of the existing school building as deplorable and unfit for effective teaching and learning.
According to him, the structure being used by pupils is in poor condition, with leaking roofs, cracked walls, and broken floors, posing safety risks and making it difficult for students to concentrate during lessons, especially when it rains.
“The situation is very worrying. The classrooms are in bad shape, and when it rains, lessons have to be suspended because of the leaks. It affects both teachers and pupils,” he lamented.
He further appealed to the government and relevant authorities to prioritise the completion of the abandoned school block to provide a safe and conducive learning environment for the children of Hwidiem.
“Finishing this new block will bring great relief to teachers, pupils, and parents. It has been left for far too long; 16 years is enough,” Rev. Adjei stressed.
The community hopes that the government will heed the call and complete the project to support quality education delivery in the Ahafo Region.
