E/R: Students escape death, rainstorm rips off classrooms

Students of Okurase Presbyterian Basic School in the Upper West Akyem municipality of the Eastern Region narrowly escaped death during a rainstorm on Monday that ripped off the roofs of several classrooms while they were in session.

The affected classrooms included KG 1 and JHS 1, 2, and 3.

Students and teachers fled the classrooms to seek safety, and fortunately, none were injured in the incident.

However, teaching and learning materials were soaked.

Academic activities have been disrupted, and both students and teachers have been displaced from their classrooms.

Classes may be held under trees and in makeshift areas until the District Assembly or philanthropists step in to repair the school.
