Pupils and teachers at Aboabo No. 2 R/C KG and Primary School in the Dormaa Central Municipality of the Bono Region are facing serious challenges due to a strong odour emanating from a nearby cemetery. The smell has reportedly become so intense that it is affecting students’ ability to concentrate, prompting teachers to modify lesson plans and take frequent breaks during classes.
School authorities and concerned parents have raised alarms, urging the municipal assembly and relevant sanitation agencies to take immediate action to mitigate the problem. According to reports, the persistent odour not only disrupts classroom activities but also poses potential health and hygiene concerns for pupils, many of whom are young children in kindergarten and primary levels.
The situation highlights broader issues regarding the management of public cemeteries and their proximity to learning institutions. Community members have stressed the need for better planning and sanitation measures to ensure that school environments remain safe and conducive to learning.
Officials from the municipal assembly are reportedly being called upon to investigate the matter and implement practical solutions, including improved sanitation around the cemetery, potential relocation measures, or protective barriers to prevent the odour from affecting the school premises.
Parents and teachers alike have emphasized that education should not be compromised due to environmental and sanitation issues, urging swift intervention to restore normal learning conditions at the school. The case underscores the importance of coordinated efforts between communities and local authorities to maintain safe and healthy environments for children’s education.
