The Ghana Education Service (GES) wants the police to fast-track the investigation and bring to book persons involved in the fire outbreak that destroyed the library of the Kwashieman Cluster of Schools.
The library was used to store ballot boxes of the Ablekuma North constituency Parliamentary election before it was razed by fire on Tuesday, December 17.
Director-General of the GES, Dr. Eric Nkansah, while expressing concern over the development, assured that perpetrators will be found and dealt with according to the law.
“It is such an unfortunate event, obviously, as the Director-General for Ghana Education Service, it is one of the saddest moments that I would have. The school recently benefited from a library project. I think it came across as one of the best library projects that we have had in the basic schools across the country.
“It has also benefited from some kind of support from the ministry in just recent times. And the last thing anybody would have expected would have been to see the situation that we are witnessing now.
“It is affecting and displacing quite a number of our pupils, but as a service, we also have an education and emergency contingency plan, which is more or less like a business continuity plan that has been activated at the district and regional levels.”
