The Ghana Education Service (GES) has confirmed a tragic bee attack at Anloga E.P. Basic School in the Volta Region, resulting in the death of two learners and injuries to several others. The incident occurred on Wednesday, 17 December 2025, and has drawn national and international attention to safety risks within basic school environments.According to an official statement issued by the Public Relations Unit of the GES on 19 December 2025, the sudden bee attack disrupted normal school activities and triggered an emergency response involving teachers, local authorities, and national safety agencies.

Thirty People Affected in School Emergency

The Ghana Education Service disclosed that a total of thirty individuals were affected by the deadly bee attack at the Anloga E.P. Basic School in Ghana. This number includes five teachers who sustained bee stings while attempting to rescue learners, three school feeding cooks, and twenty two pupils. Sadly, two of the affected learners lost their lives despite rescue efforts.The Service commended the courage of teachers who placed themselves in harm’s way to protect pupils during the chaos. Their actions, according to GES, prevented further loss of life.

Condolences and Support for Affected Families

Management of the Ghana Education Service expressed deep condolences to the families of the deceased learners and extended sympathy to the Anloga school community. The Service assured parents and guardians that all injured victims are receiving the necessary care and institutional support during recovery.GES further emphasized its commitment to learner welfare, noting that psychosocial support would be made available where needed to help pupils and staff cope with the trauma.

Emergency Response and Inter Agency Collaboration

The statement praised the swift intervention of the Ghana National Fire Service, community members, and local officials whose timely response helped stabilize the situation. Their coordinated efforts were described as critical in containing the incident and preventing wider harm.GES confirmed that it is working closely with the Ghana National Fire Service, the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), and the relevant District Assembly to permanently eliminate the bee habitat within and around the school.

Preventive Measures to Protect Schools From Bee Attacks

As part of broader safety reforms, the Ghana Education Service indicated that additional preventive measures will be introduced to reduce environmental risks in public basic schools. These measures include risk assessments of school compounds, rapid response protocols, and stronger collaboration with disaster management agencies.Education authorities stressed that learner safety remains a top priority, particularly as climate and environmental changes increase the likelihood of similar incidents across parts of Africa.

Growing Global Concern Over School Safety

The Anloga incident has reignited global discussions on school safety in vulnerable environments. Education and disaster management experts have called for stronger integration of environmental risk planning into basic education infrastructure, especially in rural and peri urban settings.International bodies such as UNESCO have repeatedly emphasized the need for safe and resilient learning spaces as part of the global education agenda. The tragedy in Ghana adds urgency to these calls.
