Filthy conditions at Yoryor Public School force parents to withdraw their children

Filthy conditions at Yoryor Public School force parents to withdraw their children

GWENIMAH, Suakoko District – The deplorable state of the Yoryor Public School has sparked serious concerns about the well-being and future of its students, as parents begin pulling their children out due to unsanitary and unsafe learning conditions.

The school, located in Gwenimah, Suakoko District, Bong County, is grappling with severe infrastructural decay, including a lack of flooring, doors, and adequate seating. According to Principal Samuel Mulbah, the once-promising enrollment for the 2024/2025 academic year has seen a steep decline.

“We started the academic year with huge enrollment numbers, but now we’re left with only 200 students,” Mulbah told reporters. “The rest have been taken out of school by their parents and are now helping with farming activities.”

Principal Mulbah revealed that students are forced to sit directly on dust-covered floors during lessons, exposing them to health risks such as the common cold and other respiratory illnesses. He said the situation is exacerbated by the absence of basic infrastructure like doors and sufficient seating.

“This is not a safe or healthy environment for children to learn,” he lamented. “The dust is a daily threat to their health.”

Yoryor Public School, built by the local community in 1994 and later turned over to the national government, has since struggled to operate due to what Mulbah describes as the government’s neglect.

“Even though the government assumed responsibility, it’s still the community that is keeping the school alive. We have cried out for help, but no one is responding,” he said.

Ironically, the school is located in the hometown of Mrs. Nancy Moye, wife of Bong County Senator Prince Moye, yet it remains plagued by chronic neglect and underfunding.

Principal Mulbah is now appealing to the Ministry of Education and well-meaning individuals to come to the aid of the school before conditions worsen further.

“We need urgent intervention to restore dignity and functionality to this school,” he stressed.
