Over 600 students of Tolon Senior High School asked to go home
Over 600 students of the Tolon Senior High School in the Northern Region have been directed by the management of the institution to go home following the unfortunate fire incident that gutted one of their dormitory blocks.
Authorities, are yet to establish the cause of the fire. Fire officers have started investigations into the incident which affected the girls’ dormitory.
Headmaster of the school, Mohammed Issifu, during an interview on Accra-based Citi FM said the students have been given temporary abodes within the community as they prepare to depart. He said the students are expected to return in a week when authorities make temporary arrangements including converting some classrooms into dormitory blocks.
“The dormitory that accommodates the girls, the upper part has been completely burnt down. The assembly has a compound house in town, and within the school’s situation, we are trying to see whether we can convert some classrooms into accommodation for the students. The school hasn’t been closed down, but students have been asked to go temporarily go home and come back within a week,” he said.
