The girls’ dormitory of Ghana Senior High School (Ghanass) in the New Juabeng Municipal Assembly of the Eastern Region has been renovated by government, a few weeks after fire gutted it.

The renovation was conducted after some weeks of audit.

The girls’ dorm was razed down by fire on March 17, a disaster that displaced some first and second year students.

Most of the affected students had to go home.

But a fully refurbished dorm was handed to the school on behalf of government by Deputy Minister of Education Alex Kyeremeh on Wednesday.

Mr Kyeremeh expressed worry about fire disasters in senior high schools, calling for audit of some of these school buildings.

“We need audit in all our buildings so that we will be able to forestall future occurrences.”

Some of the students expressed happiness about the new building.

"It is so beautiful. It wasn't like how it was. Now we can learn with much ease," said Pearl Korantemaa.
