Kusanaba SHS needs development

The Kusanaba Senior High School, a school in the Bawku West District in the Upper East Region, is in a deplorable state, making teaching and learning difficult.

The school lacks a number of educational facilities such as accommodation for students and teachers, dining hall, potable water and transport.

Since its transformation from a middle school into a senior high, the school has not seen any meaningful development, yet it has been operating as a high school in the area. 

As a result of the lack of adequate infrastructure, classrooms and old structures  have been turned into dormitories for the 960 students.

Mr Cletus Stephen Atugiba, the headmaster of the school, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Kusanaba, that due to the school's inability to develop its lands, encroachers had taken almost all the lands.

Mr Atugiba disclosed that the school had only four staff bungalows, which accommodates eight members of staff, including the headmaster, out of 40, and that had resulted in most of the teachers living far away from the school, thus impeding academic work.

He said the school was an agriculture-oriented one but it did not have equipment such as tractors, a laboratory and farm implements for practical work.

Mr Atugiba also cited lack of a means of transportat and a computer laboratory for the school and called on the Ministry of Education  to expedite action on  developing the school.

Mr Atugiba noted that as part of efforts to promote teacher-student relationship, there was the need for teachers to respect the rights of their students in order to achieve their intended aim.— GNA
