A school's infrastructure reflects its
curriculum and co-curricular activities. Using
constructivism and production theory, the study
examined how school infrastructure affects academic
achievement in four Ghanaian senior high schools. The
study obtained data using interviews and questionnaires.
The survey revealed that schools required sports fields,
music rooms, church halls, mosques, and theatres. The
study found that schools required additional dorms and
bathrooms. The research uncovered that schools require
updated classrooms, roomy scientific labs, and more cocurricular activities beyond outdoor games and computer
labs. The study also indicated that learning, boarding, and
co-curricular infrastructure improved student
achievement. The interviews showed that SHS teachers
believed school infrastructure improves academic
achievement. The study suggests building and positioning
school structures well and stocking and expanding school
laboratories to serve all pupils to increase academic
performance. To facilitate subject instruction, the
school's ICT lab needs extra computers and supplies.
