State Of Building @ Kanda Estate 1 Primary.

Kanda Estate 1 Primary school has been bedeviled with a couple of infrastrustural challenges.One which is top on the list is the state of their school building.It is very appalling and disheartening to know that the school has a good location but it not getting the needed attention for development.What may be the possible reason?Could it be that;because the school is a governmental institution,so this is bound to happen?
These politicians before coming to office,make various promises ranging from changing the state of buildings of primary schools and the likes.Where are they now?I may sound alittle political...yes!!!Because i'm looking at this issue from the mode of ownership.Obviously Kanda Estate 1Primary is owned by the government therefore one would not expect an individual from the school to take up this "mess" as if it were a private institution.
I wonder if the first gentleman of the land and his ministers have their children in government primary schools like Kanda Estate 1Primary?I'm very sure your answer is not different from mine.To them;it is embarassing and shameful to have their children attend such schools but they won't put them in good shape for the ordinary parent's child.The greedy and selfish politicians will always embezzle that little money allocated for the up keep of these schools.After all there are no proper systems to put them in check.

The school building has cracks all over and what worries me most is that it's a storey building.A massive quake and about hundreds of school children will be dead because the building would have collapsed.The paintings are gradually playing no role on the building making it look awful.The ceiling leaks badly when it rains making it difficult for the students to study.The only wall that hols the cluster together is partly broken.The partly broken wall faces the highway leading to Nima junction but nobody is willing to help.It's been months but the broken wall still "broken".

Take a close look at St.Pauls Lutheran School a private school closer to Kanda Cluster of schools;then look at Kanda Estate 1 Primary School.Though an abnormal comparism,what will be going through the minds of students of Kanda Estate 1 Primary,their teachers and even the headmistress considering the afore mentioned problems and the fact that a first rated school like St.Pauls school is closer to them?The psychological trauma,low self esteem,low motivation and bad results may be caused by this little but now huge problem.
My write up may be tagged as been alittle emotionalised but wait till you find your child or sibling in this "educational state"
