Over 3 million pupils in 13 regions learn under trees and temporary shelters – A-G’s report

The situation, according to the Auditor General's report, was contrary to Section 36 of the Pre-Tertiary Education Act, 2020 (Act 1049), which establishes the responsibility of the Ghana Education Service in providing and maintaining public basic and senior high school infrastructure.

Findings from the 2025 Auditor General’s Report reveal that infrastructure gaps continue to affect basic education delivery across the country, raising concerns about the progress made in addressing the long-standing challenge of inadequate classroom facilities.

The Auditor General’s findings indicate that 10,730 public basic schools were still operating without classroom blocks, with teaching and learning taking place under trees and other temporary arrangements.
