Your school is not here
We hold 43,626 schools, taken from the Ministry of Education school register and public regulator listings. A register is always behind reality: a school that opened recently will not be in it, and nor will one recorded under a name nobody uses. Send us yours and we will check it and add it. It costs nothing.
First, check it is really missing
The register often spells a school differently from the way anyone says it. DICHEMSO M/A J.H.S is how it holds Dichemso Municipal Assembly Junior High School. Try the town on its own if the full name finds nothing.
What happens after you send it
- 1We read itA person, not a queue. We look at whether we already hold the school under another spelling, because that is the usual answer.
- 2We callOn the number you gave us, to confirm the school is real and that you are connected to it. This is the only check there is for a school nobody else has recorded.
- 3We add itName, level, region, district and whatever else you gave us, each marked with where it came from, the same as every other record here.
- 4You fill it inWe send you the link. From there you can complete all 29 fields, and the page reads Confirmed by the school.
If the school is already listed
Claiming an existing page is quicker than adding a new one, and it is what most schools arriving here actually need. It takes one form and no phone call when the register already holds a number for you.
Questions about adding a school
- Does it cost anything to be listed?
- No. Listing is free and it stays free, exactly as it is for the schools already in the register. We have never charged a school to appear and we do not intend to.
- How long does it take?
- We check every submission by hand, which usually means a phone call to the number you give us. That is slower than a form that publishes instantly, and it is the reason the rest of this directory can be trusted. Expect days rather than minutes.
- Why do you need my phone number?
- Because a form on its own proves nothing. A claim on an existing school can be checked against the number the register already holds; a brand new school has nothing to check against, so the call is the only verification there is.
- What if my school is already listed under a different name?
- The register often spells a school differently from the way anyone says it. It holds DICHEMSO M/A J.H.S for what people call Dichemso Municipal Assembly Junior High School. Search before you fill the form, and try the town on its own. If your school is already there, claim it instead: it is quicker.
- What happens after you add it?
- You get a link to the school's page and can fill in the rest yourself: fees, email, website, GhanaPost GPS, curriculum, facilities, and the pin on your own campus. All 29 fields, all free.
- Can I add a school I do not work at?
- You can tell us about it, but say so in the note. We will still need somebody at the school before it goes in, so the fastest route is always a head teacher, proprietor or administrator.
