Speaking on Citi FM breakfast show, Angel Carbonu stated that students in these areas are always missing in their classroom which affect their education.
He said, “Students are not even regular in schools in mining communities because they see that engaging in galamsey brings them immediate money than they can ever dream of as students, and this is affecting teaching and learning in the schools.”
The president of NAGRAT called on the government to ban all forms of small-scale mining and also issuance of licenses.
