Most primary schools in the West Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region lack the needed amount of furniture, resulting in students having to study while sitting or lying on the ground.
Checks by JoyNews’ Regional Correspondent, Isaac Nongya during a visit to some schools including Saint Anne School revealed that students had to sit in pairs and fours amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the report filed by Isaac Nongya, six female students in the Junior High level were sighted sharing a single chair by taking turns and sitting on one another. Their teacher was also deprived of furniture.
This condition is not different in the lower primary with majority in a class of about forty-five students sitting or lying on the floor for their academic work.

HOMEWOOD, IL The Homewood Village Board voted 6-0 at its board meeting in January, approving a controversial settlement that will soon bring an industrial park to the Calumet Country Club. The vote settles pending litigation between W & E Ventures, LLC (Diversified Partners) and the Village, to disconnect the country club from Homewood. Now, a group of residents is trying to reverse this decision.
