Member of Parliament for the Tamale South Constituency, Haruna Iddrissu, has supported the decision of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to institute an independent investigation into the Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO) toilet turned into dormitories saga.
The Legislator in a statement on Monday insists the investigation will afford parents and the general public the peace of mind about the safety and wellbeing of their wards in the school.
The former Minority leader further indicated that, the narration with the viral video alleging that toilet cubicles have been converted into accommodation facilities for students, if true, is unfortunate and disappointing, hence, his call for an immediate investigation into the matter.
“The conditions in the purported video, if true, are unfortunate and disappointing. I therefore support the decision by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to institute an independent enquiry into the matter in order to give assurance to parents and the general public about the safety and wellbeing of students of the School,” the statement noted.
The astute politician also called on government and the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETfund) to as a matter of urgency review all the infrastructure needs of schools in the country to support effective teaching and learning across the country.
“I call on Government, the GES and the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) to take a comprehensive review of the infrastructure requirements and other complimentary facilities needed to support effective teaching and learning in Schools,” he added.
He assured the School Management of his visit to the campus as the Member of Parliament for the Tamale South Constituency, to ascertain the veracity of the issues for himself.
