Ghana educational infrastructure expansion
Overview
The Ghanaian government has initiated a multi-pronged strategy to address senior high school placement crises and eliminate the double-track system by 2027. This plan involves upgrading 20 Category B schools to Category A status and constructing 10 new model Category A institutions, supported by a $300 million World Bank facility. Additionally, the administration is building 16 new senior high schools to reduce congestion and transitioning rural schools into boarding institutions to assist students with long commutes.
On a local level, municipal authorities are launching various projects to replace deteriorating buildings and alleviate overcrowding. These include the construction of new classroom blocks, staff rooms, and sanitation facilities in areas such as Suhum and Ga Central, with some projects funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund.
