The Parent- Teacher Association (PTA) and the School Management Committee (SMC) of the Kulpeliga Basic School in the Talensi-Nabdam District have appealed to the Ghana Education Service and the assembly, post teachers including nursery attendants to the school.
Making the appeal through the Times, the PTA chairman, Mr. Tia Konzabre noted that the over 60 children in the nursery could not be handled by only one attendant.
He explained that the attendant presently handling nursery was employed by the school’s PTA. “with the hope that the GES would send one or more attendants”.
Mr. Konzabre said the school calendar year was far spent and nothing has been done about the plight of the children.
The chairman of the school’s SMC, Mr Samuel Bazinyulihit noted that since education was the main backbone for development of any area, “if it was not given the attention it deserves, the development agenda of the village and other areas would be derailed”.
He lamented that the school was poorly staffed and “this is the cause of poor performances at the Basic Education Certificate Examination every year.
“These poor pupils write the same examination with those in schools which are well staffed with computers and other teaching and learning materials,” he said.
The nursery attendant, Veronica Gbandan said it has not been easy for to control children of that age.
“I am always too exhausted at the close of the day to do my house chores and regrettably I am not even on the government’s pay roll,” she lamented.
