Pupils of Nakong Primary School lie on bare floor to study, write exams

Because there isn’t enough furniture in the school, students at Nakong Primary School in the Kasena Nankana West District of the Upper East Region have to sit or lie on the floor to study.

Students in grades one through six sit on the floor to learn. The school’s six-unit classroom block doesn’t have enough furniture to teach and learn well. This situation is not only making education worse in the area, but it is also hurting the health of children, especially when it rains.

Some students who talked to Kwaching Agwaazeh said that they can’t pay attention in class and that writing is hard for them.

After a whole day of lying on the floor, some people said they were having chest pains.

Parents of students at the school also complained that they had to wash their children’s uniforms every day because they came home with dirty clothes.
