THE Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of Jachie Pramso Senior High School (JAPASS) is sponsoring the construction of a boys dormitory to enable the school to increase its enrolment for the 2010/2011 academic year.
The project, estimated at GH¢40,000 would accommodate 150 students.
Constructional works which started barely a week ago are supposed to be completed by the end of September to enable the school to accommodate new entrants.
The PTA’s gesture was as a result of the problem of congestion at the boys dormitory over the years, compelling students to struggle for space at the dormitory
At the moment ,the one storey boys dormitory at JAPASS built in 1980 that accommodates 200 students, now takes 371 students.
When Daily Graphic visited the site, the foundation for 150 capacity boys dormitory was underway, and the Headmistress, Ms Asuande Eshun-Famiyeh, was supervising .
She said even with the current student population of 1,362 the congestion of the boys dormitory was intense and likely to increase.
On classrooms, she said, the government was sponsoring the construction of a six-classroom block but the project was delaying unduly.
Explaining, she said “ the sod cutting for the project was done two months ago , but it is still at the foundation level, indicating that it would not be completed by the time school reopens in September”.
