Students and teachers at Kaleo Senior High Technical School (KASHTS), in Nadowli–Kaleo District of the Upper West Region have been left without a well-equipped functioning science laboratory since 2016, with a telling impact on Students performance.
Despite the school being a pure science the school is grappling with congestion and inadequate infrastructure such as dormitories
The school which was founded in 1991 by the Catholic Church, presently has a population of 1,638 students and runs courses such as: General Science, General Arts, Home Economics, Agriculture, Building & Construction, Wood Works and Metal Work.
Despite its contributions to education over the years, the school is plagued with a myriad of challenges including the lack of a well-equipped Science Laboratory, inadequate dormitories for girls and inadequate classroom blocks.
The absence of a well-equipped spacious science lab compels management to still rely on a room that was dedicated for General science Lab built 33-years ago, which comes with limited seating capacity coupled with outdated equipment for the increased student population.
The building was about 90 per cent complete awaiting just the installation of the equipment before it was abandoned by the contractor due to lack of financial commitment from the Government, our sources have said.
According to authorities, all efforts made by the school to bring back the contractor to site to see to the completion of the project were unsuccessful.
Some students who are largely affected by the actions and inactions of the contractor and government vented their frustrations while appealing to the government to take steps to ensure the completion and handing over of the project to them for use.
