Initiatives such as the School Feeding Programme, Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, and the Free School Uniform Project have significantly improved enrolment across schools. These interventions have reduced the financial burden on parents and encouraged more children to stay in school, laying a strong foundation for human capital development.

Impressive Number of Schools in the District

Currently, Amenfi Central boasts an impressive 396 schools spread across its communities. This includes 149 Kindergarten schools, 137 Primary schools, one National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI), and one Senior High School located at Manso Amenfi. The presence of both public and private institutions ensures that families have options to access education, though public schools remain the backbone of the district’s educational system.

Impact of Free SHS and School Feeding Programme

The Free SHS programme has opened doors for students to pursue secondary education without the barrier of tuition fees, while the School Feeding Programme continues to provide nutritious meals that improve concentration and attendance. Together, these initiatives have transformed the educational landscape, ensuring that more children not only enrol but also remain in school.

Challenges Facing Education in Amenfi Central

Despite these achievements, challenges remain. Infrastructure development, teacher recruitment, and resource allocation need to be strengthened to match the growing enrolment numbers. With only one Senior High School and one NVTI serving the entire district, access to higher-level education and vocational training is limited. Addressing these gaps will be crucial to sustaining the momentum and ensuring that every child in Amenfi Central receives quality education
