Government Primary School Owambe is located
in Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State Nigeria. The school
established since 1991 is over 25 years old haboring pupils across two
communties.
This Primary School is just a case study to
the numerous primary and secondary schools in this area that is and has been in
a very big sorry Condition. It is said
that environment affects and/or defines the quality of a person. Therefore it
is pertinent to take a very close look at a learning atmosphere where our
children and our future leaders are receiving their lessons in this 21st
century.
School Block
This primary school building has five rooms, one for the
Principal, another being used a Staff room and the other three rooms for six
classes.
According to one of the villagers, Two
classes are merged in one classroom; that is Primary 1 and 2 share a single
classroom, Primary 3 and 4 share another and Primary 5 and 6 Respectively.
“Since this classes are merged, when it’s time for Primary one to have their
lessons, Primary two pupils are being sent out to play, same with other
classes” he said.
The Owambe community is one amongst
the numerous communities neglected by the the government in the area which is
one of the most underdeveloped in the state. There’s no health facility or
pipeburn water. Pregnant women who wants to give birth travel to Bateriko, a
distant community to access proper care.
Our sources also revealed that the
Primary School which was established in 1991, have never been rehabilitated
since its inception even though the communities/clan has notable and
indigeneous
One of our correspondents who visited
the location, described the situation of this government owned primary school
as ‘Pityful’ seeing how supposed leaders of tomorow are groomed in such an
abusive and uncondusive academic environment.
We are calling on The Cross River
State Government, The state Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and the
Boki Local Government Council as well as the Community Heads to come the aide
of this poor children.
Skeptics can trace and authenticate the true status of these
structures using the address on the signpost. It's verifiable by anyone that
deems it necessary.
