Pearson Senior High School are yet to be seen on campus.
Speaking on the same issue, some teachers disclosed that since the resumption of school on January 3, 2023, students attending various public schools in the Nimba Schools System are not on campuses and this is impeding the active running of the school administrations in the district.
