Presidential Hopeful for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has described the inhumane story coming out of the Ghana Secondary School (GHANASCO), Tamale as nothing short of a sordid.
According to Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, it is heartbreaking and saddening that Ghana at this stage, has some of its Senior High School children being compelled to sleep in toilets.
In a release sighted by Thinknewsonline.com, he said "It is heartbreaking and saddening that at this stage in the life of Ghana, after 66 years of Independence, some of our Senior High School children are being compelled to sleep in toilets because of the destruction of school facilities as well as the inability to rapidly replace/repair dilapidated structures.
"The inhumane story coming out of the Ghana Secondary School (GHANASCO), Tamale, is nothing short of, sordid"
He added that under the Administration of Late President Atta-Mills as Finance Minister, he tirelessly worked to efficiently deploy the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND), and other resources to conscientiously provide a deluge of boarding facilities for existing schools, and also constructed new schools with such facilities.
"In as much as we desire to provide our children with free education, we must conscientiously also ensure that our children acquire education in dignity"
