The Municipal Education Director for Atwima Nwabiagya North, Mr. Frank Duah Agyemang, has issued an urgent appeal to government and well-meaning individuals to support the Amakyebare community, where a destructive rainstorm left hundreds of students out of school.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Agyemang lamented that it has been five weeks since the disaster struck, yet students are still at home due to the complete destruction of all educational facilities in the town.
Over 150 homes were affected by the storm, including school buildings, leaving the entire student population without classrooms.
Mr. Agyemang described the situation as dire and warned that continued delays in restoring the schools could have long-term effects on the children’s education.
He is therefore calling on the central government, philanthropists, NGOs, and corporate bodies to intervene urgently to help reconstruct the damaged school infrastructure and restore hope to the affected students and families.
The Education Director’s appeal comes as pressure mounts on authorities to act swiftly to prevent a total collapse of education in the disaster-hit community.
