SOME old boys of the Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School (PRESEC), Legon, have handed over a teacher's bungalow constructed at the cost of GH¢50,OOO to the school.
The four bedroom bungalow was constructed by the combined efforts of the 1963,1964 and 1965 year groups of PRESEC.
The President of the groups, Mr Kwesi Addo Nyarko, said the bungalow was built to help solve the current accommodation problems faced by teachers of the school.
He expressed the hope that their contribution would help the teachers to report early in the classrooms and enhance their teaching to produce more good graduates for the country.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr Africanus Kwame Anane, said accommodation for the teachers was one of the major challenges the the school was facing.
He said out of 105 staff, only 25 per cent of teachers were resident in the school, leaving 75 per cent of them coming from far destinations like Weija, Nungua and Amasaman to teach.
The headmaster said this put a lot of stress on teachers since they had to report early at work and get to their houses late in the evening.
Mr Anane extended his deepest appreciation to the three year groups and called on other year groups of the school, individuals and benevolent organisations to go to the aid of the school to help solve the accommodation problem.
