Fiapre (B/R), April 01, GNA – Mr Issah Baffoe, the Sunyani West Municipal Director of Education has appealed for support towards fencing the Fiapre St Thomas Roman Catholic (R/C) Basic School to enhance security.
He said construction of the fence wall would ward off stray animals thereby creating a conducive environment for effective teaching and learning.
Mr Baffoe made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of a ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of a 100-seating capacity Information Communication Technology (ICT) laboratory for the school.
The project, estimated to cost about GH¢450,000.00 was funded by an old boy of the school, Mr Prince Lamptey Tetteh, a Ghanaian businessman.
He said because the school was not fenced, strayed animals and motor riders passed through the compound creating noise and obstructing academic work.
Mr Anthony Tang, the Headmaster of the School, expressed worry that drug peddlers and addicts defecate openly on the school compound, saying the pupils and students had to clean “the mess every day”.
