Teaching in an incomplete classroom block is demotivating – Headteacher

By Daniel Agbesi Latsu

Ketsi-Nkwanta (O/R), Feb 4, GNA – Mr Nuhum Azizu, Headteacher of Ketsi-Nkwanta M/A Primary School in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region, says teaching in an incomplete classroom block is demotivating for both the teachers and students.

He stated the completion of the abandoned six-unit classroom block, along with other ancillary facilities for the school, would be of great relief to both teachers and students.

He said the project’s construction, which started in 2018 but abandoned, affects conducive teaching and learning environment.

Mr Azizu made the appeal through the Ghana News Agency (GNA).

He said the completion of the six-unit classroom block with other ancillary facilities for the school would help protect the students and teachers’ desks, tables and chairs from intruders who often entered the classrooms and destroyed these facilities due to the absence of doors and windows.

Mr. Kennedy Akoto, the Assemblyman for Nsuta East Electoral Area, who led GNA to the School, said the project funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) some seven years ago, stalled for reasons the Chief and opinion leaders of the community could not tell.

He said several attempts to bring the Jasikan Municipal Assembly to help complete it proven futile.

Mr Akoto said the provision of well design classroom blocks for the school would give comfort and concentration, reduce distractions, and provide a conductive atmosphere for learning.

Mr. James Awoapayi, the Jasikan Municipal Co-ordinating Director and Caretaker MCE, when contacted by the GNA on the issue, said, though he was not privy to the school’s complaint, he would engage the Assembly’s Engineers to help resolve the problem.

Some of the learners who spoke to the GNA said they would be happy to learn in modernised classroom blocks, just like their counterparts in the urban centres.

The Ketsi-Nkwanta M/A Primary School, which was established some sixty years ago, currently had 193 students including; 103 boys and 90 girls, with nine teachers including four males and five females, who study under an uncompleted GETFund sponsored classroom project.
