Teachers At Amankwatia M/A School Donate Their Salaries To Pay Bills For School

At Amankwatia M/A Junior High School in Kumasi, teachers have contributed from their own pockets to settle utility bills for the school as there are no external funds coming in.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, Frank Kwakye, who is the headmaster of the school indicated that academic work has not been going on smoothly in the school due to the school’s inability to settle its bills.

Due to this, the headmaster said that there are occasions when the staff of the school has had to make sure the school keeps running by putting together money from their own pockets.

“In our offices, in our various IT rooms, we need electricity to function. And at times, teachers are forced to contribute from their pockets in order to buy electricity to finance school activities,” he said.

Frank Kwakye attributed this challenge to the fact that school authorities have been cautioned never to take any money from students because of the free education.

He, therefore, called on parents to take it upon themselves to address the issues and appealed to the stakeholders to help end the challenge.
