The Headmaster of the Gbeogo School for the deaf at Tongo in the Talensi�Nabdam District of the Upper East Region, Mr. Felix Neetege Faata has appealed to the government to urgently come to the aid of school as the boys dormitory has become a death trap. According to the Headmaster of the school, the boys dormitory is now a death trap as one can shake the walls of the building, adding that cracks have also developed on most of the walls. Mr. Felix Neetege Faata made the appeal when Accra-based UTV, a subsidiary of the Despite Group visited the school to familiarize itself with some of the challenges in the only disability school in the Upper East region. Some of the problems according to the headmaster includes infrastructure. The school authorities lamented that Gbeogo School for the deaf has no kitchen and as such the kitchen staff prepare food in the open space at the mercy of the weather. The Principal Domestic Bursar, Mrs. Matilda Atagabe is calling on government to provide the school with a gas stove to prepare meal for the students, as the kitchen staff has always resorted to firewood. He stressed that many schools in the region used gas stoves to prepare food for their students unlike Gbeogo School for the Deaf. The Principal Domestic Bursar added that there is no shed for kitchen staff and as the domestic bursar she also has no office to administer her service effectively.
