Education Sector Battles Mental Health Crisis.
The Ghanaian education system is facing an urgent mental health challenge among students, described by experts as a “silent epidemic.” Increasing cases of anxiety, depression, and stress are being reported across various levels of schooling, raising concerns about the support available for students’ mental well-being. The trend has prompted calls for educational institutions to prioritize mental health services, providing resources and support structures to help students cope with academic pressures and personal challenges. The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with health professionals, is exploring policies to integrate mental health awareness and support within school environments.
