MoE re-tendering for extension of Sebai Primary School after initial contract terminated 

– says school requests shed over children being schooled in nearby church

In response to a video showing students of the Sebai Primary School, Region One (Barima-Waini), under a leaking shed, the Ministry of Education (MoE) related that a contract was awarded to Andrect Engineering & Construction in September 2023 to extend the school’s building.
However, in June 2024, the contractor reportedly abandoned the worksite, and as such, the contract was terminated on November 18, 2024.
In August 2025, the Ministry in a release stated that it engaged with the school’s administration to discuss interim arrangements to ensure the continuity of classes.

“The Ministry proposed the use of a church building within the community as a temporary learning facility; however, this offer was declined by the school. The school instead recommended the construction of a temporary shed on the nearby tarmac to accommodate teaching,” the release added.
As such, the Ministry provided the necessary materials to support the construction of the shed.
Meanwhile, the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) has since conducted an assessment of the outstanding works and is in the process of re-tendering the project.
In a video posted on the Leader of WIN’s official Facebook page, it captured the challenging conditions that students from grades seven to nine, along with their teachers, are forced to endure when it rains.
During periods of heavy rainfall, students must return home, resulting in the suspension of classes. As such, WIN had called on the Education Ministry and all relevant stakeholders to urgently address this issue.
