Questions people ask about towns and schools
- Which towns in Ghana have the most schools?
- Kasoa (84), Bolgatanga (77), Techiman (76), Nkawkaw (72), Yendi (70). Counts are schools on the register in that town and district.
- How do you decide which town a school is in?
- By the town in the Ministry of Education register. Where the register leaves it blank and we trust the school's position, we use the nearest populated place in GeoNames inside the same district. Those are marked on each town page. A school's owner can correct it.
- Why is my town not listed?
- A town gets its own page when ten or more schools on the register are in it. Smaller places are on their district page.
