PHOTONEWS: Deplorable Condition Of Community Primary School Iyange-Akure In Ondo State

 The School, which has the population of over 100 Children, is deteriorating right before the eyes of community residents, and the building is begging for attention.
The Primary School Iyange is a wooden built structure, and both students and educators say it is a building in a deplorable state. The iron roofing sheet overhead leaks.
The Pupils are being taught in an environment that is not conducive to learning, observers say.
They battle with the intense heat of the Sun, are disturbed by high winds on windy days, and are showered on in rain storms, anytime there is a torrential downpour.
As a result of the heat generated by the Sun, the pupils often groan to their teachers about “discomfort,” as they try to learn the subjects offered. There are many broken chairs and benches used in the school, also a constant complaint of the students.
SaharaReporters was supplied a series of photographs from both parents and educators, and can authoritatively report that the school is nearly collapsing, with the structures sagging foundation almost begging for help.
Nearly all the windows and doors at the school are broken.
The teachers have no personal staff room, nor separate office space, as they share the same uncovered structure with their pupils.
Residents tell SaharaReporters that the leaders of the community are at fault here.
They have not moved on addressing the condition of the school in its present state. The blame should not be placed on the state government alone.
In short, the leaders of the community had refused to provide land, and a space befitting for the government to build a school, is the prevailing view among Oke Ogba residents.
A leader in the Community revealed that the state government officials have refused to come out to table, or record, the issues with the community, but instead, want to use its 'veto power' in the distribution of needed funding, diverted elsewhere, which they claimed cannot work.
Parents who spoke to Saharareporters said the community leaders shared the bulk of the blame, but it also seems that both the state government, and the community leaders are “playing politics” with the destiny of the pupils at the school.
