Improvements to Ghana's public high school system have led to declining enrolments, and closures, of many private schools.
At the same time, many students are spending months waiting to secure a free high school place.
Critics say the wait is causing a rise in social problems, as young people with too much spare time are turning to drugs and prostitution.
Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris reports from Odupong, outside Ghana's capital Accra.
