Teachers Commission Roofing Sheet Urinal Facility with Cutlass at Pruso Basic School.

A group of teachers at Pruso Basic School in the Berekum West District of the Bono Region have gone viral after commissioning a newly constructed urinal facility in an unusual ceremony.

In the widely circulated video, about three teachers are seen holding cutlasses as they symbolically cut a rope made of leaves to officially open the structure.

The facility, built with roofing sheets, is intended to provide a place for schoolchildren to ease themselves.

The unconventional commissioning style has triggered mixed reactions online. While some viewers found the moment creative and reflective of local ingenuity, others raised concerns about the state of basic infrastructure in schools, questioning why such a modest facility required a ceremonial launch.

Despite the reactions, the development highlights ongoing challenges in access to proper sanitation in some basic schools, particularly in rural communities.

Many have called for increased investment in educational infrastructure to ensure pupils have access to safe and dignified facilities.

The video continues to trend across social media platforms, drawing attention to both the effort of the teachers and the broader issue of school sanitation in Ghana.
