According to Accra-based Starr FM, after the teachers walk for that long, they use clustered rocks under trees as Staff office due to lack of office accommodation.

One of the Teachers at Akotoklo -Gua D/A School Kennedy Okai said, “this is our staff common room, the rocks, of course, we do everything here, after walking for hours here.”

He added that the school does not have a toilet or urinal where the students and teachers can ease themselves if they need to.

He said the teachers and students ease themselves in the bush until a benevolent person built a urinal with palm fronds for the girls.

“The teaching environment here is very bad, even where to defecate is a problem so we go to the bush with pupils, this palm fronds-made Urinal you are seeing was made possible by someone who came here to see the girls almost naked urinating in the open.”

Whenever it rains, the Teachers run for cover in homes of the scattered settlement area whenever it rains due to poor state of the bamboo shed classrooms.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Akotoklo community, Dademankye Okum Peter said, the government has forsaken the community hence their challenges.

He appealed to the government and other stakeholders to come to the aid of the community.
