Fire destroys Dormaa Akwamu Methodist Basic School

.
A fire has destroyed the 6-unit classroom block of the Dormaa Akwamu Methodist Basic School in the Dormaa East District of the Bono Region, displacing over 218 pupils.

The blaze, which occurred during the Christmas break, destroyed books, furniture, and other educational materials. Investigations into the cause of the fire are currently underway by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS).

With the school reopened, students and staff are faced with a lack of infrastructure. Headteacher Datus Kwadwo Manu, appealed for urgent support to rebuild the classrooms.



Chairman of the School’s Management Committee, Peter Boakye Asiedu, has also called on stakeholders to assist in restoring the school to its functional state.

The Girls’ Prefect, Yvonne Owusua, has urged the government and NGOs to intervene.

Efforts to speak with the Dormaa East District Director of Education have been unsuccessful.
