A disturbing video shared by Angel FM has stirred public outrage after it showed three young Ghanaian students taking an extremely dangerous route just to attend school.
In the footage, the children can be seen carefully walking across a thin tree log placed over a stream—used as a makeshift bridge—highlighting the life-threatening reality they face daily in their quest for education.
The location of the incident hasn’t been officially identified, and the names of the children remain unknown.
But the video has quickly gone viral, drawing sympathy and concern from many Ghanaians online who are shocked at the risks these students are forced to take.
As shown in the clip, one wrong step on the slippery log could easily result in a fall into the stream, especially during the rainy season when the water level rises.
Many fear that without immediate intervention, the consequences could be tragic.
This is not the first time such a scenario has captured national attention. Years ago, a similar video showing children using a tree trunk to cross a river prompted a response from then-President John Mahama, who pledged improvements to rural infrastructure.
Despite that, it seems many communities are still facing the same unsafe conditions today.
Calls for urgent action are growing louder. Concerned citizens are urging government authorities, local assemblies, and NGOs to construct a proper footbridge in the area.
Teachers and parents in the community have reportedly been pleading for help, especially as the rains approach.
The story serves as a grim reminder that for some children in Ghana, the journey to education comes with the constant risk of injury—or worse.
Many are now demanding swift intervention to ensure that no child’s life is endangered in their pursuit of learning.
