FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
RE: GHANASCO TOILETS TURNED INTO ACCOMMODATION FOR STUDENTS
My attention has been drawn to a viral video purporting to be emanating from the Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO), Tamale, in the Tamale South Constituency. The narration in said video alleged that toilet cubicles have been converted into accommodation facilities for students of the School.
The conditions in the purported video, if true, are unfortunate and disappointing. I therefore support the decision by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to institute an independent enquiry into the matter in order to give assurance to parents and the general public about the safety and wellbeing of students of the School.
Whiles keenly awaiting the report from the investigation, I call on Government, the GES and the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) to take a comprehensive review of the infrastructure requirements and other complimentary facilities needed to support effective teaching and learning in School. I shall be visiting the School as Member of Parliament for the Tamale South Constituency, to ascertain things for myself.
