Chief, people appeal for school block

Coaltar (E/R), March 31, GNA - The chiefs and people of Krabokese, near Coaltar in the Suhum-Kraboa-Coaltar District, have appealed to the Ghana Education Service, the District Assembly and Action Aid, a non-governmental organization to assist the community with the provision of a new school block.
     Nana Awuah Koranteng, chief of Coaltar told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview after meeting with the people to discuss how best they could organize themselves for an additional school block to accommodate about 400 pupils who take their lessons under temporary structures, trees and church buildings.
     Mr Fredrick Kumah Nyavor, Headteacher of the Krabokese Presbyterian Primary School said the situation as at now would not enhance learning and teaching because anytime it threatens to rain classes had to be closed.
     He also said the school lacked potable water and places of convenience.Mr Nyavor appealed to the Member of Parliament for the area, Mr Godfred Otchere to also help by using some part of the MPs' common fund to improve education in the area.
