PLATEAU: Rainstrom wrecks school, over 200 staff, students stranded

A rainfall on Saturday demolished classrooms and staff offices at Government Secondary School, GSS, Wokkos, Pankshin local government area of Plateau State, exacerbating the school’s lack of study spaces and other facilities. Amos Bitrus, a school graduate, said the school started off at a local primary school before moving to its current location in 1996 with community-donated infrastructure, but there are still gaps in the school’s facilities. Although the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) office constructed two classrooms and a staff office to solve the infrastructure deficiency roughly four years ago, the intervention was insufficient to address the existing challenges. The roofs of two self-help Community buildings, which were fashioned with locally produced mud bricks and provided by the Parents Teachers Association, PTA, added to their difficulties. When the rainstorm hit, the roofs of two self-help Community structures, which were built using locally produced mud blocks and provided by the Parents Teachers Association, PTA, were blown off. Mr. Yilduna Mantom, a member of the school’s staff, reported that more over 80 students were left stranded when classes started on Monday, despite kids being crammed into unaffected classrooms. However, the tactic is unsustainable, prompting a need for immediate assistance by the government and other public-spirited individuals and groups. The disaster may have an impact on pupils’ final year exams preparation. The accident may have an impact on students’ final-year exam preparation as well as the COVID-19 protocols. The disaster might affect students’ preparation for the final year examinations as well as breach the COVID-19 protocols. The School’s Principal, Godwin Yilluk, said,… Read more »
