Pujehun Students Forced to Trek Long Distances as School Buses Remain Abandoned

Schoolchildren in Pujehun District are reportedly walking long distances to and from school because several school buses remain abandoned and out of service.
Residents say the buses have been unused for a long time despite the transportation difficulties faced by students living far from their schools.
They say the situation is placing an extra burden on pupils and their families, with some children having to trek considerable distances every school day.

Residents are calling on the relevant authorities to inspect the abandoned buses and determine which ones can be repaired and returned to service.

They say restoring the buses would make it easier for children to attend school regularly and reduce the daily challenges they face.
Residents are therefore appealing for urgent government and stakeholder intervention to address the transportation problem affecting schoolchildren across the district.
