Pupils in ECD 1 and ECD 2 sit on the floor during lessons, with learners in the two classes numbering 65.

A teacher at the school told The Fatu Network: “The government is aware of this issue because education officials have been coming here.

“Even the governor Abba Sanyang once came to the school and found the children sitting on the floor.
