Students In Imo Hold Classes Under Trees

According to an impeccable source in the school, each of the available classrooms in the school contained not less 120 students with plenty others standing by the windows. This, it was gathered, was because most of the classes were combined for lack of spaces
“The overcrowding affects both students and teachers. Imagine having to teach in a very hot classroom filled students. So, plenty others have to sit under mango trees,” the source said.
Speaking sometime ago when some members of the legislature visited the school, the principal of the school, Dr. D. O. Chibueze stated that the situation  is beyond their ability and called on the state government to come to their rescue.
According to him, the razed building also provided classrooms, laboratories and library for the students. He lamented that the school could not put in use the seats and desks numbering about 920 which they received from the state government because of lack of classrooms and insecurity.
Efforts to get officials of the state to comment on the issue was unsuccessful as several phone calls put across to the commissioner for education, Mrs. Uche Ejiogu was not answered.
