Lack of Furniture: Students of Adanse Fumso Basic School Forced to Sit on Floor During Contact Hours

Students of Adanse Fumso Islamic Basic School in the Adanse Asokwa District of the Ashanti Region are learning in a dilapidated structure that lacks basic furniture and infrastructure.

The school’s weak building has raised concerns among parents, who fear it may collapse and cause harm to the students.

A visit to the school revealed that dozens of students are sitting on the bare floor during contact hours due to the lack of furniture.

Some students have never seen a working computer in their lives and are calling on authorities for support.

The Headmistress, Alimatu Seidu, explained that the poor state of infrastructure in the school discourages students from attending.

“The structure is now a death trap for students, causing fear and panic anytime there’s a rainstorm,” she said.

“We have basically nothing, including washrooms, furniture, and other materials needed for proper teaching.”

Despite inspections by Non-Governmental Organizations and officials of the District Assembly, the school is yet to receive support.

The Headmistress appealed for urgent intervention to provide the necessary infrastructure and learning materials to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for the students.
