The appeal was made by the Headmaster of the school, Rev. Sam Adjei.
He said, the school which started in 1991 under the Government Education Reform programme (ERP) has never received any assistance from the government. Rev. Adjei said, the school which started as a technical institute and Middle Girls Boarding school was later absorbed into the public school system to run five programmes visual Arts, General Science, Agricultural Science, Home economics and General Arts.
He said due to financial constraints the school has not been able to put up an assembly hall, additional girls dormitory, classroom blocks, staff bungalows and a common room. According to him the situation has compelled the school to use the dinning hall as an assembly hall, classroom and for church service.
Rev. Adjei said even though the school has started the construction of a three classroom block, it lacks funds to complete the project.He said the school now has a population of 542 of which 392 are in the boarding house with 40 teaching staff members.
