More than 800 pupils are being denied quality learning in two separate schools, according to Tracka – a BudgIT project that enables citizens to collaborate, track and give feedback on public projects in their communities.
In two separate tweets from its verified Twitter handle, @TrackaNG, on Monday, Tracka identified the schools as Yelwa Zuba Pry Sch, Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT Abuja and Gwanamarde Pry Sch, Malumfashi LGA, Katsina State.
Owing to the situation, “over 300 pupils are being denied quality education” in the FCT school, while “over 500 pupils learn in this harsh condition” in the Katsina school.
“ATTENTION!!! @DrRamatuAliyu @IretiKingibe
“This is Yelwa Zuba Pry Sch, Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT Abuja. The roofs are falling off, so the teacher either cancels classes for the day or takes the pupils and the blackboard out of the class when it is sunny or raining.
“Attendance has dwindled because children don’t bother coming to school anymore AND over 300 pupils are being denied quality education.
“We ask that you renovate the school to enable the children to learn in a conducive environment,” the first tweet read.
“ATTENTION!!! @GovernorMasari @dikko_radda
“This is Gwanamarde Pry Sch, Malumfashi LGA, Katsina AS OF TODAY. Over 500 pupils learn in this harsh condition. There is only one classroom and it has no roof.
“This is a complete failure and neglect of children in the community. There is only 1 teacher and 4 volunteers in the school.
“We demand an URGENT renovation and staffing of the school,” the second tweet added.
