Are you saying police should be deployed to guard school buildings against defecation by miscreants in the society? This is far-fetched. The story says several attempts were made to make the people stop the act including a durbar. What more could be done? It is a clear signal from the people that they don't want the school for their children. They want their children to be illiterates as they themselves!

I am a Forest Research Scientist based in Germany. In 1995, I initiated a Tree Planting Project „Planting of Trees on Ghanaian School compounds“ with 4 Schools in the Central Region but now increased to 75, with school children planting beautiful trees on their School compounds. Solar lamps as incentive have been introduced into the project. A child gets a free solar lamp when he/she plants 4 trees and caters for them for 6 Months. Since every child is eager to receive a solar lamp, thousands of trees are being planted. A modern tree nursery has just been completed in September 2016 where 10,000 tree seedlings have already been nursed and distributed. The project is sustainable since it is being guided by environmental education.
I had the same Problem of defecation with one of the first 4 Schools which I made a KVIP toilet to be built for the pupils. Since the toilet was locked, the People around who had no access to toilet facility broke into it to use and later turned the beautiful established forest on the coumpound into toilet and wee Smoking ground. All my efforts to let the Chief of the town stop the defecation proved futile. At Long last the beautiful trees were cut down with the excuse that ECG was going to put up electric lines exactly through the forest which will benefit the community more than the trees and this without compensation. I wept when I was informed and have still not got over the loss but this is considered normal in Ghana where the degradation of the Environment is of no concern to the society.

This is the action the local are expecting since land lord are failing to provide toilets. This is shame indeed unto all Ghanaians that GES have to close schools after residents turned classrooms into public toilets.

The people must provide their own toilets. WHY SHOULD SOMEONE ELSE COME AND PROVIDE TOILETS TO THE PEOPLE?

This one of the most civilized people I have ever seen in my life. We call ourselves wise men and women and change our school to toilets. Why should this take place in the president's region? We are wise indeed..

Why are the Akyems behaving this way? They need to learn from the Nzimas how to keep clean schools and use latrines.
