Bono Region: Famkwa M/A KG and Primary School in Dire Need of a Befitting Building

The educational dreams of young pupils in the Famkwa community of the Bono Region are being threatened by the deplorable state of their school. The Famkwa M/A Kindergarten and Primary School is in dire need of a befitting structure to ensure effective teaching and learning.

Currently, students are forced to study under dilapidated structures with leaking roofs, broken furniture, and inadequate classroom space. During the rainy season, classes are often disrupted, and students have to be sent home due to flooding in the classrooms. Teachers also struggle with limited resources, making it difficult to deliver quality education.

Concerned parents and community members have repeatedly called on government agencies and stakeholders in education to address the school’s infrastructural challenges. According to residents, previous appeals have gone unanswered, leaving children at risk of dropping out due to poor learning conditions.

A teacher at the school, who spoke on condition of anonymity, emphasized the urgency of the situation:
"We are doing our best to teach these children, but how can they concentrate when they are sitting on the floor or when rain disrupts lessons? We need help immediately."

Educational experts warn that the lack of proper infrastructure affects students’ academic performance and discourages qualified teachers from accepting postings to rural areas.

Conclusion:
Famkwa M/A KG and Primary School’s situation highlights the urgent need for investment in education infrastructure in rural Ghana. Authorities, non-governmental organizations, and well-meaning individuals must come together to provide these young learners with the environment they deserve for quality education and a brighter future.
