Schools by District

Name: Ghana Schools by District
Creator: Ministry of Education, Ghana: Education Management Information System

How many pre-tertiary schools each district has, counted from the Ministry of Education's EMIS school list as served on 2026-09-26: 33488 schools in 261 districts, split by level (basic — kindergarten, primary and junior high together, as EMIS does not separate them — senior high and TVET) and by ownership (public, private registered, private not registered), with level-by-ownership counts. These are counts only; no individual school is published. A few schools with no level or sector are counted as not stated. Guan District (created 2023) has its own row with no district in the 260-district set. Sourced from the Ministry of Education, Ghana, Education Management Information System (EMIS); published by the Ministry, all rights reserved. 261 records.
