Some basic schools have just 2 or 3 teachers despite needing 9 – Right To Play

Call for stronger child protection measures Right To Play says strengthening community child protection structures, improving access to quality education and empowering children and their families remain critical to sustaining efforts to prevent child labour.

Head of Office at Right To Play Ghana, Harrison Akubor, said some children rescued from child labour lived in satellite communities several kilometres away from the main communities where schools were located.

Severe teacher shortages in some remote communities are threatening efforts to keep children in school and protect those vulnerable to child labour, according to Right To Play Ghana.
