Students of Bolgatanga Sirigu Senior High School has storm the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly to register their displeasure over lack of adequate infrastructure furniture and accommodation to create an enabling environment for teaching and learning.
They also expressed concern over the combined class for the final year students to have tuition for the core subjects while their electives will be taking care of later. Speaking to Apexnewsgh.com they lament the situation is affecting the final year students who sit in the classroom without observing the social distance protocol.
“Since we came, there is no furniture for us to sit and looking at our population, they said 3 students per one furniture and they asked us to observe COVID-19 protocol. Now we are crowded and there is no enough classroom for us to sit”.
They presented their petition to the Municipal Education Director Stella Estella Kyeebo in the presence of the Bolgatanga Municipal Chief Executive Joseph Amiyuure Atura. Reacting to the petition Madam Kyeebo assured the students that the petition will be forwarded to the Regional Director for consideration.
“You know that you did a wrong thing by taking the law or laws into your hands. You are aware that, the municipal director is there isn’t it? That is why you direct your petition to the municipal director. So, if you have challenges, why didn’t you come to me? Leadership could have come, if you hard challenges with your school or your teachers, you could have sent a delegation to the office. I have written several letters to Accra through the regional director about infrastructure of the school and they are working on it and we are following up”.
She describe the timing for the protest as wrong and urged the students to employ other alternatives to seek redress
