Africa Education Partnership is pleased to announce that the renovation of the Kafanchan Junior Secondary School multi-purpose hall has been completed in time for the new academic year.

Eunice's  Story

5/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Nana Dogo shared with Elaine the story of Eunice, a tenth grade student at Kafanchan Senior Secondary School.  This girl just happened to be leaving with her mom and her belongings when Nana arrived at the school (Nana serves as school principal).  When  Eunice was questioned as to why she was leaving, it was discovered that she was in arrears with her school account- her tuition had not been paid.  The rule is that if tuition is left unpaid for more than one trimester, the student is asked to withdraw. Eunice was in tears as her mother shared that her father had passed away.  An uncle had stepped up to pay for the school fees - but he, too, had recently died. The mother shared that she was just now getting back to work after being in a serious accident. The only schooling that she could afford for her daughter was a government school.​
