The Headmaster of the Frankadua Roman Catholic Basic School in the Asuogyaman District, Mr. Eric Simon Awidom has called on the government, especially, the District Assembly to assist in the construction of new classroom block, since one of their limited buildings collapsed recently.

School children of this school aftermath the incident have had to endure the undue pressure of taking lessons in the remaining two classroom blocks.

Narrating the chilling incident to the Eastern File, the Headmaster of the school, Mr. Eric Simon Awidom, thanked God for His mercy, since at the time of the incident, the children were on recess.

According to the Headmaster, about a month ago, he was in his office when he heard of a loud noise, and lo and behold, when he got out, found that the dilapidated kindergarten classroom block had collapsed.

He explained that the manner in which the incident occurred would be very disastrous if the children were in class, since all most the children would be dead, because of the way the building caved in.

He said the school structure with visible cracks in the walls of the building, which was without doors, windows, and had a dirt floor, with a leaking roofing, had become a death trap and was a nightmare for the management of the school for some time.

The situation, he explained, left much to be desired any time it rained, compelling the management of the school to close earlier than normal anytime there were signs of rain.

The school block built of mud about 28 years ago, through the efforts of the church, have seen no major rehabilitation since its construction.
