Explaining the dilapidating condition of the school, the Coordinator of the Free Quality Education Abdul Karim Vangahun said he travelled all the way from Kenema to Nomo Faama Chiefdom which is about 38 miles just to monitor the free quality Education in a chiefdom which has been long abandoned by policy makers. He disclosed that there is no semblance of school activities in the entire Chiefdom as the school structure itself is dilapidated, coupled with unavailability of furniture in the classrooms.
The Coordinator Vangahun also described the school to be very filthy which prompted him to even question the subsidy that government sends to the school.
“Look at the ceiling it has to semblance of school and no pupil has ever come to this school with the pretext of benefiting from the Free Quality Education. Look at the classrooms no furniture”, he said.
After thorough inspection of the school, Coordinator Vangahun assured that he will take the matter with the paramount chief and other stakeholders in the chiefdom in other to ascertain the root cause of the abandoned nature of the only secondary school in the chiefdom. He added that the last time he investigated similar matter, the authorities in the chiefdom told him that the pupils have gone for secret society (Bondo) initiation which he considered as a very fallacious excuse.
Coordinator Vangahun also intimated that government has been trying it level best in providing Free Quality Education but people still sabotage the system. He concluded by drawing the attention of the National Coordinator of the Free Quality Education Amara Sowa and the Minister of Basic and Senior Secondary Education Dr. David Sengeh, to find a remedial action to the appalling situation and lacuna of the Free Quality Education in the entire Nomo Faama Chiefdom.
