Ghanaians on social media have reacted to a viral video of students at Tema Senior High School students sitting on the floor due to a lack of chairs in their classrooms.
According to the viral video, the students are about 54 in class, with just 10 tables and chairs.
The video suggests the students were in science class without a chair in the Science Block at Tema Secondary School.
In the viral video, some students were captured sitting on a bench, others on tables with some sitting on the floor and others kneeling.
Tema Secondary School is a day and boarding school established and commissioned on 22nd September 1961, by Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

When Mahama was telling them to focus on infrastructure before implementing this free SHS policy, they think it’s a joke.

Just because of politics they destroyed the PTA because they don’t want any support so people won’t say PTA bought desks or supporting Free SHS, government alone can’t do everything too so you need support but because of politics you stop PTA
