Teachers and pupils of Atobiase M/A Basic School in the Upper Denkyira East Municipality of the central region are living in fear of snakes, which have invaded the dilapidated school.
Along with the snake infestation, the school’s lack of adequate teachers, furniture, and facilities at both the primary and junior high school levels makes it difficult to give high-quality education.
The existing situation of the school does not encourage teachers posted there to accept postings and does not provide a favorable atmosphere for teaching and learning.
In an interview with Mohammed Radiu Dinn Rasko, Dunkwatv.com, Nana Nkwantabisa, Gyaasehene of Atobiase expressed concern over the lack of qualified school teachers.
He continued by saying that despite the difficulties the school faces, the six primary and junior high school teachers are doing their best to provide the finest possible education for the children.
According to Kwaku Assem, the P.T.A. secretary of Atobiase M/A Basic School, the school is threatened by snakes and other reptiles, and poor building conditions, a lack of teachers and furnishings, as well as a dearth of teaching and learning are inhibiting efficient lesson delivery.
“In the absence of action from the appropriate authorities, the students would continue to be alarmed by the reptiles” he added.
Meanwhile, the students claimed they frequently engage in combat with snakes and other reptiles that make their way into the crumbling school building during class time.
