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

Tribalism and enthnicity at the north is very sharp. Sometimes these things lead to fights and even battles. The Volta region have similar troubles within and outside its boarders. When they come together they turn against the Akans. The Arabs unite only when the name of Israel comes up. When Israel withdraw from among them they knock their heads together . Do unto others as you want others to do unto you. Let us avoid tribalism and ethnicity whether it is to our favour or the versa.

This is one of the unfortunate misfits wrongly given a position because he is a northerner. And all he can say is that the North monopolises all the negatives! So if anything goes wrong he makes it look like it happens only in the North.
Mr Abongo, which part of ghana has no chieftaincy disputes, or land disputes etc? The North is not statistically different from the rest of the country in terms of these negatives you are trying to claim monopoly for the north.
Abongo's statement is a typical southern stereotype - a stereotype which has been drummed home so much that even northerners begin to accept that when they talk of chieftaincy disputes it relates only to the North. And our leaders who are supposed to refute these stereotypes are now echoing them! Shame to Albert Abongo of Bongo.

People are not fighting in the upper West region, did the government spend a billions of that load there.
Shameless NDC MPs from all the three regions. They don't know their left from their right.
Nana Addo is useless as well. The devil you know is better than the angle you don't know.
