The Gbeliginvuusi Youth Association has issued an urgent appeal to government, development partners, non-governmental organisations, and corporate bodies for the immediate reconstruction and rehabilitation of Gbeliginvuusi Junior High School in the Garu District of the Upper East Region.
Despite achieving a 100 percent first-choice Senior High School placement rate for its 2026/2027 graduating class, the school faces a severe infrastructure crisis that threatens the safety and education of its students.
Teaching and learning at the historic basic school are routinely conducted under hazardous conditions.
The current facilities feature dilapidated classrooms, crumbling walls, eroded floors, and compromised roofing that leaves staff and students exposed to the elements.
Leadership of the association emphasised that the students’ academic success, achieved despite extreme physical constraints, underscores both the dedication of the teaching staff and the pressing need for a safe learning environment.
”Our children deserve a safe, conducive, and dignified environment in which to learn,” the association stated in a press release signed by its leader, Dasmani Iddrisu.
“Gbeliginvuusi JHS has demonstrated what its students can accomplish even under severe constraints. With modern classrooms and proper facilities, their potential will be boundless,” it further stated.
The association directed specific appeals for immediate capital intervention, building materials, and infrastructure support to key local officials, including the Member of Parliament for Garu, Dr Thomas Anaba, and the District Chief Executive of the Garu District Assembly.
The youth noted that Gbeliginvuusi JHS has long served as a primary educational foundation for local children. They warned that without swift intervention to rebuild the crumbling facility, maintaining these academic standards and ensuring student safety will become increasingly difficult.
