Should we beg for education? – Aflao Chief laments
The Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area in the Volta Region, Torgbui Fiti Amenya V appears livid and disappointed over the government’s inability to complete and operationalize the Aflao Community Day Senior High.
He has gone ahead to give the government a four-month ultimatum to open the e-block community day senior high school which has stalled since 2016.
The GH¢9 million project which was part of some 200 E-block Community Day Schools constructed under the erstwhile Mahama administration was supposed to have some 26 classrooms attached and 5 departments including a science block.
However, it has stalled since the exit of the NDC government in 2016 and during a tour in the Ketu South constituency by the Minority side of the Education Committee, Torgbui Adzonugaga Amenya Fiti expressed his frustration saying, the government’s approach to education is appalling.
“After senior high school education, the next degree that my people have to do is to go to border and go and do kayayo, no school.
“The only school that we have is the RC Senior High School that belongs to the Catholic Mission Minor Seminary. So this thick population have no place to go and people sit down in that big hall called Parliament and not thinking about Aflao, a place after the Tema Harbour, the next revenue generation is from the Aflao border.
“I had to push the former President Mahama for the structure to be constructed over there. I had to be running from here to Accra begging.
“Should we beg for education?” He sadly quizzed
