    What probe and from who??? Kids traversing on such unsafe boats to school is indeed as a result of a failed state.
    Next time I pray it happens to the big men so that the needed attention will be given. What a shame

    Who is the physical training teacher of the school. As a routine morning jog, kids barely under 18 are left to jog and cross rivers

  • the Villager 6 months ago

    Godwin, learn to read properly, the article taled about cadets and NOT just students. This therefore has nothing to do with the PT/physical trainer or teacher.

  • Christine 6 months ago

    That is the correct question. Where was the teacher.We will never know. Ghana Ghana Ghana. Waiting for the excuses.

    It’s high time free swimming classes are provided to all children between 4-15 years .

  • Mr Smith 6 months ago

    Yaw, I fully agree with you. So long as they use that as means of transport then you are right. But at least life vests should have been made mandatory. Police will confront if you don't wear a seatbelt in your own car and cl ...

    What investigation will that bring back those precious lives lost. Can we think and be proactive a bit oh my God.

  • jesus 6 months ago

    It will give some individuals the opportunity to drink tea and eat biscuits. You will like to think there will be somebody supervising a youth of ten during their 'normal' jogging!

    Unimaginable grief. I went to school in northern Ghana for fourteen years and can only recall three deaths none in my
