In an interview on 21 Minutes with KKB, the Economist and veteran Educationist said "They are only useful for urban areas. All that they have put in the villages are going to be useless. The only people who benefited from it are the contractors not Ghana’s education."

 

He added that the school buildings have the capacity to enroll only 1,500 students each and lacks boarding facilities to accommmodate students.

"They are useless because to transport 1,500 people you have to go about 30 km radius in order to fill them without any boarding, without any teachers’ bungalows, nothing. How can you do so?" he queried.
