The administration of Dayokpo Public School, led by Principal Sylvester Weah, has raised urgent concerns about the school’s worsening learning conditions due to a lack of adequate facilities and educational resources.
Speaking to reporters in the area, Weah pointed out that the school is currently struggling with insufficient seating capacity and a shortage of textbooks, both of which are essential for effective teaching and learning.
“The situation is deeply challenging,” Weah said. “Many of our students have no proper seating arrangements, and the lack of textbooks continues to make learning very difficult.”
The Dayokpo School principal explained that the school administration, along with community members, has initiated a “Hands to Hands” contribution effort aimed at improving educational outcomes and supporting students despite the limited resources.
He disclosed that a significant number of students are being temporarily accommodated at an alternative site, as construction continues on a new school facility spearheaded by Senator Albert Tugbe Chie.
“We are grateful for the community’s efforts during this challenging time,” he added. “However, the pressing need for a proper learning environment cannot be overstated. We urgently require more seating and instructional materials to facilitate our students’ education.”
Principal Weah also made a direct appeal to Senator Chie and other stakeholders to prioritize the completion of the new school building, which he said would greatly ease the burden currently faced by both students and teachers.
“We appreciate the ongoing construction project under the leadership of Senator Chie,” Weah said, “but we are urging for swift completion so our students can finally learn in a safe and conducive environment.”
The appeal comes amid growing calls from the school authorities and parents of Dayokpo Community for increased government attention to the state of public education, especially in rural communities where schools continue to face chronic shortages of basic learning materials and infrastructure.
