Better education they say is a right not a privilege but the current condition of children at Oduman Asuaba near Obom in the Ga south municipality, Greater Accra region is a direct opposite of this saying.
It’s so disheartening to see a basic school not in a remote area but in the same region that has the capital city of the country in such a state. In this school, children have to sit or sleep on the floor read or write — no tables and chairs for these students which does not affect only their academics but also their health.

As children in some parts of the world are learning and preparing themselves in better environments for a brighter future, children in the 67-year-old country are lacking basic amenities and other items necessary for a better education.
Interacting with the teaching staff of the school, they poured out their hearts, telling the general public about the deplorable state of the school, the lack of furniture, and other basic teaching and learning materials. The headmaster of the school, Emil Osei, is calling on non-governmental organizations, corporate bodies, and individuals to come to their aid to support the children.
Parents of these innocent children also told the team about the stress they go through to have them in this school.
