The Assembly Hall of the Community Two No. Four Primary School, which has been turned into a classroom to accommodate about 100 pupils for the crèche and nursery, has caved in.
There were no casualties, as the incident happened last Sunday morning when the school children were at home.
According to the school authorities, the structure, which was built somewhere in the 1960s, had never seen any rehabilitation.
Robert Kempes Ofosuware, Metropolitan Chief Executive of the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA)] assured the teachers, pupils and residents of the area that his outfit was going to make provision in the ongoing Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) projects to enable the pupils to get a place to study until the structure is re-erected.
The Assembly Member for the area, Kwasi Poku Bosumpim, appealed to politicians from both divides, and most importantly, the TMA, to endeavor to team up and find a lasting solution to all the weak school buildings in the metropolis.
According to him, some of the schools in the Metropolis were constructed in the 1960s, and as a result, had outlived their lifespans, and therefore, needed to be looked at critically, to avoid a repetition of what happened at the school.
He mentioned the Community Two No 4 Middle School, which has very deep cracks in its walls, and the government school at Lashibi, as examples which need to be rehabilitated or pulled down and rebuilt.
