Infrastructure.

Most schools have provisional urinals. Others do not have at all. Toilet situation is worse of than urinals. Though DANIDA assisted Community Water and Sanitation Agency in the past to provide toilet facilities to a few selected schools in the rural and semi urban areas, much has not been done, as almost all schools in Ho Township do not have toilet facilities. Just about 60 headteachers/headmasters in public schools have official accommodation in the Municipality. This is about 23.08%. Apart from the headteacher/headmaster accommodation provided by the Ministry of Education, most communities have no ready accommodation for the other teachers.
