The headmistress of Chemu Senior High School, Vicentia Annin-Agyei, has raised concerns about the infrastructure challenges the school is facing and how it affects students.

She described the struggle many students face in finding accommodation close to the school due to the lack of proper facilities.

"Coming and commuting from home, some of our students are forced to look for homes nearby and rent, just to be able to come to school. This also poses another challenge," she explained.

Additionally, she pointed out the troubling reality that some students resort to living with their boyfriends and girlfriends.

"Some of them are even living with their boyfriends and girlfriends. We have that challenge," Mrs. Annin-Agyei shared.

The headmistress clarified that these students do not choose this path willingly, but are rather forced into it by circumstances. "Some are forced into that situation, not that they intended to be in that situation, but the situation has called for that," she said.

Further elaborating on the school’s struggles, Mrs. Annin-Agyei noted that as a transitional school, Chemu SHS cannot accommodate all its students at once due to the limited infrastructure. "As a transitional school, when we say transitional, it means that the whole year group is not in school at the same time," she said. "There is always one year group out, and two year groups in. It is transitional because the facilities we have are not enough to cater for all our students," she added.

In conclusion, she urged authorities to address the infrastructure issues to alleviate the challenges faced by students. "We would urge that we address these issues first, so that at least we can curb some of these challenges," she concluded.
