The problem of school children sitting on bare floor in classrooms especially in the northern part of the country is far from over.
After the Kperisi Basic School exposé which generated a lot of controversy in the country, it turned out that more schools are facing a similar problem.
One of such is the Al-suaredeen Islamic Basic School at Gulabani in Tamale South constituency of the Northern region.
The children according to Adom News’ Iliasu Abdul Dabre lie flat on the dirty bare floor to write because they are without furniture.
He said the pupils many of whom walk from long distances to school have to grapple for space on the floor due to the overcrowded nature of the classroom.
Iliasu who expressed dismay the first time he visited the school added that, the teacher cannot walk through the class to supervise class exercise.
I was extremely shocked when I saw the children lying on the bare floor” he stated while describing the situation on Adom Evening News Wednesday.
However attempts to get the headmaster of the school to comment on the issue proved futile. He told our reporter he has been asked by the Municipal Education Directorate not the comment on the matter.
Some of the teachers who spoke to Iliasu on condition of anonymity express worrying at the situation which they said is affecting teaching and learning.
They added that the lack of desks in the classroom has made most of the pupils truants – a situation they noted could affect the future of the kids.
But the Municipal Chief Executive of Tamale, Alhaji Abdul Hanan Gundadoo in an interview with Adom News, said the condition at Al-suaredeen has not been brought to his attention.
But he said if the school is approved by the Ghana Education Service (GES), desks will be dispatched to the school.
“We have about 500 units of desks available for distribution so if it [Al-suaredeen] a GES approved school, they will get some of the tables and chairs” he stated.
Alhaji Gundadoo said government is still committed to improving the educational sector.
Meanwhile, a promise by the Member of Parliament for the area, Haruna Iddrisu to provide desks for the school is yet to materialise

Why do you have to come out with this funny question at all? If i should ask you one question, do you know the actual tribe of the lady who was carrying two names, Nayele Ametefe aka Ruby Adu Gyamfi? You probably might have forgotten that since she was busted for carrying drugs to the UK under two aliases, no one hads come out to unravel her true identity

she was busted for carrying drugs to the UK under two aliases, no one has come out to unravel her true identity. Isn't that strange?

If i were you, i would first have requested to know her true identity before coming to ask which tribe this present one is.

In GHANA, laws don't work, and for that reason you see people walking free for crimes committed against humanity and the state, however, elsewhere, people are made to face the law irrespective of race or their status in life.

It feels good to know this woman was not caught in Ghana where some stupid corrupt judges would have set her free for a crime they knew she had committed.

Ghanaians must vote out ndc and bring in credible people who will nurture this country to earn respect. Did you read the judge said she lied under oath and that shows disrespect to the law?I don't blame her because ndc have made lies as part of Ghana's culture so even the president lies under oath and lies to the whole nation during his state of the nation address and the president and his mosquito general secretary had the audacity to insult anybody who criticized the
presidents untruths. That is Ghana for
you, the toddlers to the youth to the
middle age to the oldies and elders to
the senior citizens are all liars. They say the truth when they want to say it but not that the truth is important to them. Ghana is just not a nation but a nation in tatters. An old lady like that lying infront of an American white judge not that she didn't know she was lying but that it is a culture with the ndc to lie.

The other day I bought dried cat fish from a Makola market in New York.

First of all the way the dried catfish was staring at me I knew something was very wrong. The dried fish was almost laughing at me. I just couldn't get my my head around the face of the dried smoked cat fish.

Then I proceeded to prepare my light -soup with my abrokyire fufu. The soup that day tasted very funny but was extremely nice. After I've finished eating the soup I never felt such feeling to laugh at just anything. I thought maybe with the lauging fish and this sense of happines it was a sign that my Powerball numbers are up to be called for me to start parking my stuff as the most newly minted millionaire amongst the Ghanaian diaspora.

That evening I was just talking like there was no tomorrow. The powerball came and went and finally the following day I came back to earth. I just could not undrstand that feeling. But something felt very fishy, and I did not mean the catfish light-soup.

Now I know what they put in that dried catfish, making it look so happy and putting me on a hig to nowhere. They've been pumping dried innocent catfish with heroine.

Please jail 6yrs for giving me false sense of winning the powerball and putting me through extreme depressing when it did not happen!

Soon, the US, Canada and Europe will impose 3 days detainment of such folks before allowing them back into the population after arriving.

Illegal fast money eventually brings jail time. Right grandma?

To answer your question. Some Northerners were slaves to the Ashanti Kingdom in the 18th Century. Salaga Market was the most notorious slave market established in the Northern Region.

Salaga is a town in Ghana's Northern Region and the capital of its East Gonja District. Salaga is the fifty-ninth most populous in Ghana, in terms of population, with a population of 25,472 people.In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Salaga served as a key market town of the Ashanti kingdom, particularly for the busy regional slave trade and kola trade controlling Salaga gave the Ashanti a monopoly over trade to the North and trade to the South Situated in the southernmost reaches of the Sahel, Salaga was referred to as "the Timbuktu of the south" for its cosmopolitan population and varied trade. Muslims formed the most dominant religious group.Visitors to Salaga today can still see the Salaga pond, where slaves would be washed before selling to make them look as attractive as possible, and a young baobab tree on the site of the old slave market. Many of the Slaves were brought from central Africa

SHE IS ONE OF THOSE GHANAIANS, WHO WHEN THEY VISIT GHANA, GO TO SHOW OFF AS IF EVERYTHING IS ROSY IN THE USA, NOT SHOWING THAT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN NEFARIOUS AND SERIOUS CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THIS IS NOT HER FIRST TIME. AND IT IS LIKELY, THE HOUSE IN WHICH SHE LIVES IN NEW YORK IS ALL INFESTED WITH DRUG ACTIVITIES.

These are the people who make those who have lived in America for over 20years and without houses or properties in Ghana to show for,receive a bad name,though they are trying hard to live a rightful life to make end's meet.These drug traffickers will go to Ghana to show off their ill-gotten wealth making people think that life in America is so easy.I feel no sorry for this greedy bastard 64yr old woman who should have been a good role model to her children and those around her.I'm sure her own own children are not using drugs,and yet she was peddling drugs to America to destroy American children.God punish you.Your cup has finally ran over.

Masa, MOMO! MOMO! You're singing to the Choir. Every GH man or woman that I know comes to Obronikrom, or USA for short holidays or vacation or leave and returns home to GH with ALL these luxury cars and containers full of luxury items on the planet. And you asked them how was he/she able to acquire all these in USA in such a short time stay or period in Obroninikrom? They all come up the SAME story QUOTE: "I was employed as bank manager in America or in Obroninikrom by a bank" unquote. Whaaattttt, Kwasi you with standard 7 education as Bank Manager in America? Really! Not only that; women of this woman's age will tell you quote: "she was a nanny for an American $Millionaire family" unquote. Their parents and abusuapenini hears all these from these cocaine, narcotic drug lords and their mulls; and all they do is bow and look at their abusuia sons and daughters in shame by the luxury displays by these EVIL cocaine, narcotic drug lords and their mulls who make their quick money & living thru. narcotic and illicit drug smuggling trade. They’re the people who make GHs very LAZY and GREEDY to use their GOD given heads to solve GHs problems. Every GH wants to come USA.
