Management of the school say the storm damaged the entire roofing of three workshops
An injured student from the Methodist Technical Institute in the Kwadaso Municipality of the Ashanti Region was rushed to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital after Friday’s heavy rains ripped off the roofing of some school workshops and destroyed parts of the school’s buildings.
The student was hit by parts of a workshop that collapsed during the windy storm while students fled to take cover.
The school’s administrator, Desmond Oppong, told Ultimate News that three workshops were badly affected, with their entire roofing sheets damaged.
He expressed concern that the incident occurred at a time when the school is already grappling with severe resource constraints.
Mr. Oppong worried that teaching and learning could be significantly impacted, as students cannot study in the affected buildings.
“We are already under-resourced, and this workshop block is our learning center for practical studies. All our tools are now exposed, and we cannot allow students to study in those facilities,” he told reporter Ivan Heathcote-Fumador.
He called on the Member of Parliament for Kwadaso, Prof. Kingsley Nyarko, the Municipal Chief Executive of Kwadaso, stakeholders, and philanthropists to come to the aid of the school.
