The community around Kware Primary School is protesting against the presence of a rental flat within the school compound.
According to the residents, the owner has refused to demolish the structure, even as new tenants continue to move in.
This has raised significant concerns among parents, teachers, and local residents about the safety of the school environment.
At the heart of the protest is the sentiment that "people's power is the only language they can understand."
The community feels that their pleas have been ignored for too long.
A private developer previously backed down in the face of public pressure, and now the community hopes to leverage that momentum to address their current plight.
They say the presence of the flat in the school not only poses health risks but also creates an environment where learning is nearly impossible.
"The government has the ability to help us remove the building; that’s why we are here today," one parent said.
One parent who has children in both primary and secondary schools passionately stated, "We talk and we cry, but we have not been heard."
The parents expressed fears that their children are exposed to violence and other harsh realities.
The parents said they hope that in protest their voices will finally be heard and necessary changes will be implemented to restore safety and dignity at the school.
