Pupils of Daffiama Kindergarten sit on floors for lack of furniture

Pupils of Daffiama R/C Kindergarten in the Daffiama-Bussie-Issa (DBI) District of the Upper West Region sit on floors during class hours for lack of furniture in their classrooms, parents and guardians say.

They noted that the pupils lay on the floor to learn and it negatively affects teaching and learning.

Speaking in an interview with info radio, Mr Kungtwure Denis, a resident, indicated that the situation not only affects teaching and learning but also causes financial losses to parents as they have to wash their wards' uniforms every day.

He, therefore, appealed to the DBI District Education Directorate and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to come to their aid and provide the school with furniture to speed up teaching and learning smoothly.

Mr Tendana Stephen, another resident bemoaned the lack of furniture which according to him affects the pupil’s health conditions as they always sat on the floor.

He added that the school structure is in a deplorable stage with all windows removed.

He thus called on authorities to come to their aid.
