The Headmaster of Kumaho D/A Basic School in the Asunafo North Municipality of the Ahafo Region, Mr. Oscar Azumah, has raised concerns over a steady decline in student enrollment, attributing the situation to the absence of the government’s School Feeding Programme at the school.
Speaking in an interview with Adom News during a fundraising ceremony organised to support the school, Mr. Azumah explained that many pupils have transferred to neighbouring schools that benefit from the feeding initiative.
According to him, the situation is gradually affecting the survival of the school, warning that if urgent steps are not taken by the Asunafo North Municipal Assembly to include the school in the programme, it could eventually collapse.
He also cited inadequate teaching staff as another major challenge, noting that the shortage of teachers is negatively impacting teaching and learning. He appealed to the government to post more teachers to the school to improve academic outcomes.
The Assembly Member for the area, Mr. Robert Badu, confirmed the challenges confronting the school and described them as serious concerns that require immediate attention.
In an interview with Adom News, he assured that he would engage the Municipal Assembly to seek support and added that discussions were ongoing with the Member of Parliament for the area, Haruna Mohammed, to help resolve the issues facing the school.
