Academic activities at the Presbyterian Senior High Technical School in Aburi, located in the Akuapem South Municipality, came to a halt on Friday, May 2, following a devastating rainstorm that damaged several key structures within the school.
A significant portion of the dining hall’s roof was ripped off during the storm, which lasted for several hours.
The roofing of the Visual Arts, Business, and Technical classroom blocks was also affected, disrupting teaching and learning activities.
As a result, students have been forced to use the assembly hall as a makeshift dining area—an unfortunate situation, as the hall cannot accommodate the school’s over 3,000 student population.
Speaking to journalists, the Headmistress of the school, Mrs. Joyce Appiah, described the situation as dire and appealed to the government for immediate intervention to salvage the situation.
She also appealed for beds for the newly constructed boys’ and girls’ dormitories, as the old dormitories currently in use are in a deplorable state.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for the Akuapem South, Lawrencia Adwoa Dziwornu, who visited the school to assess the extent of the damage, also called on old students and benevolent organizations to assist the school in this time of need.
