Learning for more than 800 pupils in Wekelekha RC Primary School in Kanduyi sub-county is facing a bleak future if parents and stakeholders do not intervene to put new up new latrines.
The crisis knocked on the door after eleven toilets belonging to the school submerged due to the heavy rainfall experienced in the area forcing pupils to relieve themselves in the nearby bushes.
Speaking to Education News school head Margaret Mwangale said learners risk contracting Cholera and other related diseases.
She, however, called on the area MP Wafula Wamunyinyi and Governor Wycliffe Wangamati to bail them from the impending crisis.
“We completely lack toilets and this is very dangerous to the teachers and pupils,” she said.
She also lamented on the shortage of classrooms in the institution.
“We have only eleven classrooms in the entire school which is a great challenge bearing in mind the Covid-19 protocols,” she said.
Despite classes built a long time ago, they are in the dilapidated condition that sometimes jiggers infect learners.
The school head also lamented on the shortage of teachers citing that the institution has only thirteen teachers.
