Several schools under the Kumawu District Education Directorate have been severely affected by a heavy rainstorm that struck on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. The unexpected downpour, accompanied by fierce winds, has caused a huge destruction, ripping off the roofs of many schools in the district.
According to reports received by GH Educate, the violent storm left a trail of devastation, impacting institutions such as Kumawu SDA Basic School, Kumawu St. Martin’s RC Primary School, Kumawu Apostolic D/A Basic School, Kumawu Presby Primary School, and Nkwanta AME Zion Primary School.
