The Ministry of Education has announced that Labone Senior High School will receive 3,282 mono desks today, Thursday, November 21, following reports that some Form One students were sitting on the floor or using dining hall benches due to a lack of classroom furniture.
According to the Ministry in a statement signed by the Press Secretary Hashmin Mohammed, Labone SHS formally requested the desks through the Ghana Education Service (GES), and the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has approved and allocated the required furniture.
“Delivery to the school is scheduled to be fully completed by the close of Monday, 24 November 2025,” the statement confirmed, adding that the first batch is being delivered today.
This intervention is part of a nationwide initiative to provide 200,000 mono desks to 100 double-track senior high schools transitioning to the single-track system. The Ministry emphasized its commitment to closing furniture gaps across all second-cycle institutions.
“The Ministry remains steadfast in its commitment to systematically and sustainably closing furniture gaps across all second-cycle institutions,” the statement said.
The Ministry also reaffirmed its dedication to ensuring every Ghanaian student learns in a “safe, supportive, and conducive environment,” while promising continued collaboration with GES, GETFund, and other partners to deliver infrastructure that promotes effective teaching and learning.
The Ministry assured that the furniture delivery is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to provide a supportive learning environment for all students.
