The Ministry of Education (MoE) has confirmed the delivery of over 3,000 mono desks to Labone Senior High School (SHS) in Accra on Monday, November 24, 2025, to address a reported shortage that forced newly enrolled Form-One students to sit on the floor or use dining hall benches as makeshift 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 was 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 emphasised 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 learned in a “safe, supportive, and conducive environment,” while promising continued collaboration with GES, GETFund, and other partners to deliver infrastructure that promoted effective teaching and learning.

The ministry assured that the furniture delivery was part of the government’s ongoing efforts to provide a supportive learning environment for all students.
