A further analysis makes an interesting revelation for the JSS for instance. The sector has an average of 6.25 Teachers to a School and by the standards of Ghana education Service, the minimum requirement of 5 to a School, has been met for all Schools. The issue however is that the required number of teachers in the arts. Technical Skills, Mathematics and Science fields have not been met in the JSS Schools and this affects educational standards in the District.
