Prior to the arrival of European immigrants, education in Ghana was largely informal and centered on apprenticeship. Ghana’s pre-independence name was the Gold Coast. The pre-colonial Gold Coast economy was based on subsistence farming, in which farm products were shared among households and members specialized in providing essential services.
However, when the Europeans and missionaries came to Ghana, they opened new frontiers in the area of education, and over the years, the Ghana education sector has greatly developed.
Category C schools represent the lowest level of the Ghanian school categorization system. The school categories was adopted by the Ghana Education Ministry to place students moving from junior high schools to senior high schools.
In all, there are a total of 176 category C public schools in Ghana. Check them out below.
