The Vice Principal of the Gambaga College of Education in the North East Region, Dr Abdallah Salifu, has called on government and other major stakeholders to assist the College in addressing its infrastructure deficit, to enhance teaching and learning.
According to Dr Salifu, the College is bedeviled with major infrastructure challenges, which adversely affect academic activities in the school. He made the appeal at the 3rd Congregation of the College at Gambaga.
Two hundred and forty-one trained teachers graduated in two Bachelor of Education Degree Programmes, Primary Education and Junior High School Education, comprising 87 females and 154 males.
Dr Salifu said apart from a two-unit female hostel facility and other projects funded by the Internally Generated Fund, and an ongoing 500-seat modern auditorium by the Students Representative Council, the College since its establishment in 2012 has not had any major educational-centered infrastructure.
He said the College lacks a science laboratory, accommodation facilities for staff, limited computers, and has only two worn-out operational vehicles, for both administrative and academic work.
Dr. Salifu said despite these challenges, the college recorded three first-class graduates as against one first-class in the last graduation.
