152 Kindergarten Schools Hold Classes Under Trees in Ghana’s North East.
In Ghana's North East Region, 152 out of 366 public kindergartens are forced to conduct classes under trees due to a severe shortage of infrastructure. This impacts over 36,000 young students, with Chereponi district bearing the brunt, where 58 schools have no buildings. The lack of classrooms has raised concerns about the quality of early childhood education in the region, prompting local stakeholders to call for urgent government intervention. They emphasized the need to prioritize investment in school infrastructure and teacher training, as many teachers in the area are unqualified, further complicating the education crisis.Efforts to address these issues were discussed at a recent forum, where education advocates highlighted the importance of early childhood development in achieving sustainable development goals.
