Construction
work on the Presbyterian Junior High School at Odumase-Krobo which started
barely a month and half ago is fast nearing completion for the planned handover
to Zain Ghana on August 5, 2009.
The
block is expected to be inaugurated soon after.At
the time of the visit of the Daily Graphic to the site, the building was at its
roofing stage, with workers busily at work to meet the set deadline.
The
new facility which is also disability-friendly, is made up of six classrooms, a
library and a computer laboratory.
It
also has a headmaster’s office, a store, a staff common room as well as a
washroom for the disabled and teachers.
It
would be recalled that the Daily Graphic in its May 7, 2009 edition carried a
story about the crumbling school block which claimed the life of a 12-year-old
pupil and injured three others.
The
story prompted the management of Zain Ghana to reconstruct the entire school
building.
In a
related development, Journalists for Human Rights-GIJ chapter, a human rights
advocacy group, has offered to meet the authorities of the school to discuss
some human rights issues in the area.
According
to the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the group, Mr. Seth Joseph Bokpe,
“other human rights institutions and groups have been brought on board”.
He
also stated that as part of the activities of the group, a four-day
sensitisation programme would be carried out in the early part of next month
for some selected students of the school as well as youth groups in the area.
