BAWKU WEST DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

The Upper East Regional Minister, Hon. Akamugri Donatus Atanga, at the request of Bawku West District Chief Executive, Hon. James Ayamwego conducted a visit to Kusanaba Senior High School on Monday to assess its facilities. This visit allowed the Minister to witness the school’s infrastructural issues firsthand.
Among these challenges was the adaptation of a classroom block into the Headmaster’s office due to significant damage from a rainstorm to the original office.
Additionally, portions of other buildings are being used as temporary classrooms. The Minister also evaluated a makeshift bathroom for female students that had been built by their male peers. It was highlighted that the school lacks adequate toilet facilities, compelling students to resort to open defecation in nearby bushes.
Furthermore, the Minister learned about a failed kidnapping attempt at the girls’ dormitory, which school officials attributed to the lack of a perimeter fence, leaving the campus vulnerable.
After the tour, the Minister spoke to the students and assured them that he would bring the school’s difficulties to the attention of the Minister for Education for prompt action. He encouraged the students and staff to maintain their faith in President John Mahama’s administration, expressing hope that the issues would be resolved.
He also urged the students to prepare thoroughly for their forthcoming WASSCE examinations.
