Many children in private basic schools in Ghanaian attend school using vehicles, as they mostly reside in areas far from their schools. Overloading in school buses has, however, become a major concern for the school pupils.
According to findings of research by some researchers from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), 100 per cent of the respondents revealed overloading in their buses.
Observation and counting of pupils who alight from their school buses in the morning also showed huge number pupils as compared to the number of seats in the buses.
School children especially the elderly ones revealed how tired they become when they get to school by carrying the younger ones on their laps.
