Old Edubiase pupils turn to trading, farming as teachers’ strike disrupts schooling

Pupils of Old Edubiase Methodist Basic School in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region have abandoned their classrooms for farms, markets and football fields as the ongoing nationwide strike by pre-tertiary teachers disrupts academic activities.

Residents of Old Edubiase are calling for urgent intervention by the Adansi North District Directorate of Education, traditional authorities and the government to ensure pupils return to the classroom before the disruption causes further damage to the academic calendar.“Our teachers told us to stay at home until we hear that the strike has been called off.
