Concern has been raised over the reported deteriorating condition of Adobewora Community Senior High School, with calls for the government and the Ministry of Education to intervene urgently to prevent the school from collapsing.
According to the concerns raised by community members and stakeholders, the school, which was built and commissioned by President John Dramani Mahama, is facing a number of challenges that are affecting its ability to attract and retain students.
One of the major concerns highlighted is the absence of a boarding facility, which is reportedly making it difficult for students from distant communities to remain at the school.
The poor condition of the road leading to the school has also been identified as another major challenge. The difficult access route is said to be affecting students, teachers and residents who depend on the road to reach the institution.
According to the appeal, the school’s student population has declined significantly and currently stands at approximately 180 students.
Teachers, students and members of the surrounding community are reportedly calling for immediate assistance, warning that the continued challenges could threaten the future of the institution.
The concern is that if the situation is not addressed, more students could choose other schools, potentially leaving Adobewora Community Senior High School struggling to remain operational.
The school was originally established to provide secondary education opportunities to young people in the area. However, stakeholders fear that the difficulties currently confronting the institution could undermine that objective.
The absence of boarding accommodation is particularly significant because students who live far from the school may face difficulties commuting daily, especially given the reported poor state of the access road.
The appeal has therefore been directed to President Mahama and the Ministry of Education to consider measures that could help restore the school and make it more attractive to prospective students.
Among the concerns raised is the need to improve the road infrastructure and provide suitable boarding accommodation.
Supporters of the appeal argue that rescuing the school would help preserve an institution that was established to expand access to secondary education in the community.
They are also urging government officials and other stakeholders to visit the school, assess the challenges firsthand and determine what interventions are required.
The situation at Adobewora Community Senior High School has generated broader conversations about the need to maintain educational infrastructure after schools are established.
While constructing and commissioning schools is important, stakeholders say sustained investment in facilities, accessibility and student welfare is equally necessary to ensure that such institutions remain viable.
For the teachers and students reportedly affected by the challenges, the immediate priority is to prevent further decline in enrolment and ensure that the school can continue providing education to young people in the community.
The appeal has also called on the Ministry of Education and relevant government officials to act before the situation becomes more difficult to reverse.
With only about 180 students reportedly remaining, community members fear that continued challenges could further reduce enrolment.
The concerns surrounding the school remain an issue requiring attention from the relevant authorities, particularly as stakeholders seek to preserve the institution and ensure that students in the area continue to have access to secondary education.
