While the breadth of access signals strong educational ambition, persistent infrastructure gaps, especially dormitories, classroom blocks, science laboratories, and furniture pose challenges for senior high schools.

For the district’s learning landscape, the breakdown and the gaps om the school landscape in numbers comprise of 241 basic schools in total made of 159 public and 82 private schools with the level breakdown of Nursery :86, Primary 86, Junior Secondary: 66, Senior Secondary: 3, Vocational Institute: 1, Tertiary Institution: 1.

However this trend in education for the district may come with challenges and implications such as inadequate student housing strains daily commuting which in turn affects attendance, raising health and safety concerns particularly for boarding SHS students.
