Strike: Pupils climb trees, mess around without any instructors
Instructor Unions' strike activity at pre-tertiary level is gnawing hard. Understudies at Accra Central's Aaylolo Cluster of Schools appreciate solo recess. They show up in class, drop their packs, and run down the school field to play.
Sweat trickled down their countenances as they paced all over the field, kicking a football as though it were the World Cup. A few understudies who were not taking part in football match-ups snatched trees and climbed them. Others play games, while understudies in lower grades sing.
Nonetheless, in the midst of the entirety of the energy and coordinated confusion, a portion of the understudies are concerned and restless. They are planned to take the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (B.E.C.E.) in October. They have expressed that assuming the strike proceeds and they bomb their tests, they will fault the public authority.
"On seventeenth October we will compose our B.E.C.E. On the off chance that we all bomb there is nobody to fault except for the President. Since he is the person who is dealing with our educator and other school supplies." This is a statement from a JHS 3 understudy Ibrahim Mohammed of Ashia Mills Basic School situated at the Aayalolo Cluster of Schools in Accra.
Despite the fact that his instructors are protesting, Ibrahim trusts that some of them will astound them by making an appearance to educate.
"Recently three of our educators came to school and instructed us "Strict and Moral Education" and afterward left. In any case, today no educator has been here". One more understudy of Ashia Mill, Adwoa Adjei expressed.
The Pre-tertiary Teacher Unions took to the streets on Monday, requesting a 20% Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) since high expansion, high fuel expenses, and exorbitant costs for labor and products have dissolved their compensations.
The understudies believe the President should yield to the instructor's requests so they return to the homerooms to educate.
"Tuition based school educators are not protesting. We will compose similar last assessments with them. Our folks are not rich for that reason they brought us here. In this way, the President should pay our educators". Ibrahim Mohammed expressed.
The Aayalolo Cluster of Schools has more than 1000 understudies. There are eight (8) unique schools that share a typical compound. Youngsters go to these schools from Agbogbloshie, Old Fadama, James Town, and encompassing towns. These regions are home to a significant number of Accra's poor.
Their folks, who couldn't manage the cost of good tuition based schools, carried them to this school trusting that they would learn something and become unmistakable later on; in any case, their educators are protesting.
The understudies say the educators' strike is a wellspring of extraordinary concern to them yet they are likewise worried about the unfortunate framework of their schools.
These schools are a demise trap. The underpinnings of three schools are uncovered and hanging. The support points could fall out of the blue, causing a catastrophe. The rooftops have openings in them.
Two tasks started by the NDC government have deteriorated for a long time, passing on the offspring of Aayalolo to concentrate on in a disgusting climate.
The youngsters are in school, yet obviously they are not getting quality training. Assuming the educator's strike continues, these all around weak kids will experience considerably more.
