The Students Representative Council (SRC) of the Atebubu college of education in a recent communique has directed that all level hundred students are to come along with plastic chairs when coming to school next semester just because the school is lacking furniture.
The level hundred students in a response is asking for the legal basis on which the SRC is using to ask students to bring chairs to school.
It is all known that it the responsibility of the Government to procure furniture for use by students. In these times of the economic hardships impending on students and parents, students are in addition required to bring chairs to school. Students have in the last four months not received their allowances and so most of them haven’t even being able to pay their exam fees .
Level hundreds of Atebubu college of education are calling on all media houses and stakeholders of education to come to their rescue. They are demanding that the SRC removes that obnoxious, problematic and discriminatory policy requesting that all level hundred students come to school with plastic chairs in their first year second semester.
