Ghana: Why are children dying in boarding schools?

Focus on Africa

About this episode

Nearly a decade ago in Ghana, 15-year-old Kevin Moses died at Achimota High School. In a landmark ruling last year, Ghana’s High Court found the school negligent for Kevin's death. The school has appealed that decision. Between May 2023 and February 2024, six students died while in boarding school. Why are children dying in schools in Ghana?

Also, we hear differing views on what caused the recent floods in Sudan.

And how Nigeria's Green Falcons could become the first African team to qualify for the Women's Rugby League World Cup?

Presenter: Nyasha Michelle Producers: Patricia Whitehorne, Piers Edwards and Stefania Okereke in London Senior Journalist: Yvette Twagiramariya Technical Producer: Pat Sissons Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
