Picturesque Nzulezo attracts a steady stream of tourists to Lake Tadane. But the waters that draws visitors are the very reason school staff are reluctant to stay
Thu 19 Jan 2023 06.00 GMT, the village of Nzulezo perches above the dark water of Lake Tadane, backed by dense swampland. Built entirely on wooden stilts and platforms carved from raffia palms, the cluster of structures is home to more than 500 people, with two churches, a small guesthouse, a bar and primary school.
The school, for children from four to 14 years old, was recently rebuilt after flood damage. It has four classrooms and 81 pupils, but only two teachers. There is no culture of learning to swim in Ghana, and it is not taught in schools, in part because of lack of access to pool facilities, Bonsu explains. So, while Nzulezo residents are strong swimmers by the age of four, the location proves challenging for teachers from other parts of the country.
