Significant damage was inflicted on the Adinkrakrom M/A Basic School near Agogo in the Asante Akyem North area on Wednesday by a strong downpour. The school needs immediate repairs after the storm tore off the roofs of multiple classrooms.
Extent of the Damage
The storm was strong enough, according to Sikanya Justice, the assemblyman for the Magyeda electoral constituency, to disperse roofing sheets around the school grounds. Additionally, some roofing sheets were left hanging, endangering anyone in the area.
Headmaster’s Account
Nyezie Dery Adinkrakrom, M/A Basic School Headmaster Michael, claimed that after the pupils had left for the day, the roofs were torn off. Because of the lucky timing, there were no injuries. However, there was significant damage to the school’s infrastructure, which made it difficult to run classes efficiently.
Appeal for Assistance
Nyezie Dery Michael, the headmaster, made a desperate plea for help to the authorities. To fix the damaged roofs and get the school back up and running, he underlined the necessity for quick assistance. If something isn’t done quickly, the students’ education can suffer a lot.
Community Concerns
Concerns over the safety and well-being of the pupils are shared by the school staff and the local community. Since the rainy season is still going strong, if the roofs are not fixed right now, there could be more damage and even danger. The tragedy has brought attention to the region’s schools’ need for improved facilities and emergency preparedness.
Conclusion
Adinkrakrom M/A Basic School has sustained substantial damage as a result of the downpour, highlighting how susceptible school infrastructure is to natural catastrophes. The headmaster and the local authorities have issued a request for help to safeguard the pupils’ safety and their education. To handle this serious emergency, the government and pertinent agencies must provide immediate support.
