About 2 Million Ghanaian Basic School Students Forced to Sit on Classroom Floors – Africa Education Watch 

Recent research conducted by African Education Watch has uncovered a distressing reality plaguing Ghana’s basic education system. The report highlights that a staggering 2 million school children across the nation are compelled to sit on the bare classroom floors during their lessons, shedding light on the widening gap in funding for basic education in the country.

This alarming revelation underscores the harsh conditions endured by young learners in Ghana as they strive to acquire knowledge in environments lacking adequate infrastructure. The inability to provide proper seating arrangements not only impacts the physical well-being of these students but also hampers their focus and ability to learn effectively.

The study by African Education Watch emphasizes the critical need for increased investment and support in the country’s basic education sector. Insufficient funding has led to a shortfall in essential resources, resulting in compromised learning conditions for a significant portion of Ghana’s school-going children.

Authorities, educators, and stakeholders are urged to prioritize addressing this pressing issue to ensure that every child in Ghana has access to a conducive learning environment. The future of the nation hinges on the quality of education provided to its youth, making it imperative to bridge the funding gap and enhance educational infrastructure across all basic schools in the country.

As this issue gains attention through the findings of African Education Watch’s research, concerted efforts are anticipated to bring about meaningful change and create an educational landscape where every child can thrive without the burden of sitting on classroom floors.
