The representative for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak, has highlighted that approximately 1 million students in Ghana are forced to learn while seated on the floor.

In an interview on TV3's Hot Issues with Kemmini Amanor on Sunday, May 12, Dr. Apaak noted that this situation is considered acceptable.

He further stated that his party's leader, Former President John Dramani Mahama, pledges to resolve the issue of furniture deficits in basic schools.

As the ranking member on the parliament’s education committee, Dr. Apaak emphasized Mahama's commitment to addressing the shortage.

“What that means is that about one million of our wards go to school every day and they have to sit on the floor or sit on blocks to study. That clearly cannot be acceptable.”
