Barely three years after the completion of the six-unit classroom block for the Nkoranza Anglican Primary School in the Brong Ahafo Region, termites have started destroying the doors with the handles and locks falling off.

The project, partly funded with the oil revenue, was awarded for contract in 2012 at a sum of GH¢292,251.81 and completed in 2013.

It has six classrooms, a head teacher's office, a hall for either staff common room or computer laboratory, a six-seater toilet facility and two urinals.

This came to light when the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) and the Institute of Financial and Economic Journalists, embarked on project monitoring on Wednesday.

It was sponsored by the German Development Corporation (GIZ) under the Good Governance Project.

Mr James Diyori, the Head Teacher of the School, said they started using the facility in 2014 and it houses the Kindergarten, Primary 1, 2, 3 and Junior High School 1 and 2.

He said by 2015 the termites had invaded the place and started eating the doors of the classrooms and the urinals due to the poor quality of wood used, as compared to the old structure, which was built some decades ago but had its doors intact.

Mr Diyori said though the project had been completed but had poor quality doors, it was better to study there than in dilapidated structures and under trees.

The team continued its monitoring to the Nkoranza South Senior High Technical School to see the progress of the Free Senior High School Policy implementation.
