3 Million Pupils Under Trees: Why Can’t Ghana Fix the Classroom Crisis? | Matters Arising

Ghana's education sector continues to face challenges, as millions of pupils are still reported to be learning under trees and in makeshift structures. The situation has renewed calls for the government to rethink its approach to infrastructure development, social intervention programmes and education funding. While Victor Kutor argues that resources must be better targeted to free up funds for development, Awal Mohammed says schools under trees may continue to emerge. Government must strengthen systems to provide proper facilities wherever they are needed. Stakeholders insist that prioritising education infrastructure is critical to Ghana's future. #mattersarising
