Residents in the community say the problems facing the school are hampering effective academic work as pupils do not learn in a conducive environment.

Speaking on the matter, the Assembly Member for the Ayerede Electoral Area, Charles Boakye revealed that academic work has been seriously affected as a result of the problems facing the school.
