THE Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the Tamale Islamic Senior High School (TISSEC) has constructed a new staff bungalow to help ease the accommodation problem facing staff of the school.
The new bungalow, which is semi-detached, can house two or more staff and adds up to the existing three bungalows to make four.
Inaugurating the building, the Chairman of the PTA, Mr Stephen Haruna, said the PTA spent GH¢21,500 to complete the project.
“We began the construction of this bungalow about six years ago, but could not finish early enough due to the lack of funds,” he stated.
Mr Haruna said that the PTA had also assisted the school in many areas such as in the provision of tanks to store water, establishment of a computer laboratory, expansion of the dining hall and the rehabilitation of some dormitory blocks.
“We also put together some resources to purchase television and radio sets and also a refrigerator for the staff common room,” he said.
The Headmaster of TISSEC, Mr Issah Yahaya, commended the PTA for its support and said with such consistent support, teaching and learning would be enhanced.
He said in many schools in the south, the PTA contributed very significantly to the provision of infrastructure and other facilities, which helped ease the pressure on school authorities.
Speaking later in an interview, the headmaster said the school was still in need of more facilities such as a school bus, dormitories and a laboratory for the study of home economics.
“We also need additional staff bungalows since we currently have only four as against a teaching population of 46,” he pointed out.
