SINKING ASIKASU



VT


for four years, they have waited on authorities to roof the only structure serving the primary and junior high school.

from asikasu in the west akyem municipality of the eastern region, daniel lartey reports, students  continue to study in a dilapidated structure serving as classrooms.

wait for cue



V/O

the extent of neglect is apparent.

pupils attending asikasu r/c primary and jhs look on helplessly as the building meant to accomodate them is neglected

both teachers and pupils are greeted every morning  with animal droppings.

after lessons, animals take over the classrooms leaving it in a mess.

Sot .......emmanuel bafffoe, headmaster. asikasu r/c primary jhs

though we visited the school on a week end, we chanced on these pupils who lived close to the school.

sot ....student

anytime clouds gather, classes end abruptly.

we gathered that these rotten wood were supposed to be used for fencing.

Snd up

Obviously, state resources have been wasted. 

the kindergarten structure at the asikasu methodist primary and jhs is not better off.

urgent attention is certainly needed to ensure a conducive environment for teaching and learning.

GIVE GIJ HER FAIR SHARE

                 GIVE GIJ HER FAIR SHARE The story of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) is embarrassing. It is embarrassing not because the Institute has not paid its dues to the country and the continent at large, but because after fifty-two years of  training journalists and media practitioners all over the continent, GIJ is still where and how it was at the beginning. To a fresher, it sometimes looks unfortunate at first, but after few semesters you get used to it.  But the more you know the exploits of the Institute, you begin to equate that transformation with maturity,and this is where the greater disappointment comes in. The neglect of one of the first communication training institutions on the continent is unacceptable, especially when one looks at the critical role the GIJ has played and continue to play in the social, economic and political life of this country. The neglect of GIJ is not because th...

LET'S DONATE MORE BLOOD

               LETS DONATE MORE BLOOD Blood donation is very important in maintaining Ghana's workforce and vibrant economy. The oxford advance learners dictionary defined the blood donor as a person who gives some of his or her blood to be used in the medical treatment of another people. Unfortunately there are no adequate voluntary donors and this have caused the National Blood Bank(NBB)  which supplies blood to families in order to save live to run out of stock. News of shortages of blood at the Korle-bu Teaching Hospital in Accra and recently the Konfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi has only come to serve as a warning to the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) to sit up and put in place an efficient blood collection and processing strategies to bring this problem to an end. I believe the shortages should also serve as an alarm for all potential donors to donate blood when we are not sick. All one has to do is to brin...
