GES Suspends Classes at Accra New Town Experimental D/A School After Building Collapse Kills 3

ACCRA, Ghana – The Ghana Education Service (GES) has ordered the immediate suspension of academic activities at the Accra New Town Experimental D/A School following the tragic collapse of an uncompleted multi-storey building on the school premises. The incident, which occurred during a heavy rainstorm on Sunday evening, has claimed three lives and left 20 others injured.

The collapse happened around 5:00 PM on Sunday, March 29, 2026, while a congregation was using the uncompleted structure as a makeshift church. According to emergency responders, the building gave way during a torrential downpour, trapping several worshippers beneath the debris. Emergency teams from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the Police, the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), and the National Ambulance Service worked through the night to rescue survivors.
