The flood which forced pupils to stop attending the Model Central Primary School Danbam was made worse by poor waterways around the school.

According to him, every rainy season, children will have to abandon attending Schools for 3 months until the rain stops thereby losing one full term, lamenting that the development is a great setback to the government’s educational efforts.
