The Unit Committee Chairman of Abesewa, a community in the Ahafo Ano South East district of the Ashanti region, Mr. Ampem Darko Nicholas, has bemoaned the rate at which some unscrupulous persons keep having bowel movements in the classrooms of Abesewa D/A primary school, compelling class 1 and 2 pupils to stay home over the act.
Speaking to the Unit Committee Chairman, Mr. Ampem Darko Nicholas, on High Radio, He noted that their attendance at the school premises coincidentally met the circuit supervisor, who reported the case to the Education Director and subsequently ordered the closure of classes 1 and 2 pupils until the case is solved since it poses danger to their health.
Mr. Darko said his members and the Assemblyman are doing all they can to tackle the unfortunate incident and pave the way for the young ones to get back to classrooms.
The act, which was said to have started some 1 year ago, came to a halt over a series of interventions by Nananom, Assemblymember, and his committee members, who provided night watchdogs to watch the school premises at night to prevent the act, only to notice it again last Tuesday when the staff called the unit committee chairman and his assembly member to witness the unfortunate scene in the early hours of Tuesday, May 23, 2023.
The Unit Committee Chairman revealed their readiness to fight the canker, denoting that they will be having a stakeholder engagement meeting with Nananom today to decide on what can be done to ameliorate the uncultured act.
He pleaded with all people to stay away from such an attitude because it has future repercussions for you and your generations and keeps denting the image of the community within which it happens.
He concluded that it also affects teaching and learning which negatively impacts the school-going pupils.
