Schools Registrations and licensing
This is the processes where a would-be proprietor acquires the relevant documentations and approvals from the necessary bodies in order to establish and operate a school. When your school is licensed, you can therefore go ahead and begin operations. But one needs to go through some processes as would be outlined by the body that regulates schools operations. For the case of Ghana, this is done by the National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NaSIA).
Who should register your school?
There are three bodies you will have to consult for the registration processes.
- The Business Registrar
- The National School Inspectorate Authority (NaSIA)
- The district Education Service Unit (Local Authority)
The above are the bodies you will need when you plan to set up a school. Don’t look nowhere other than the above.
Why license your school?
Licensing your school guarantees you the rights to operate your school. Getting students enrol in your school, being able to advertise your services in the public space. You also get to enjoy all the services offered by NaSIA to all registered or licensed schools. And overall, your school becomes accepted by the general public. These are a few reasons you need to license your school.
Registration processes
Now we can begin to talk about the processes we have to go through to have our schools registered
One, to register your school, the school has to be first registered as a business.
You can do this with the Registrar General Department. At the Registrar General Department, you will be asked for some key information about the new business you want to open.
You can locate the Registrar General Departments at the districts capitals across the country. I’ll leave below a link that will allow to connect with this Agency and to also read on how you can register the business with them. Note that this is different from licensing of schools.
Getting registered with the Registrar General Department alone is not enough to get your school operated. This is what mostly prospective school owners do. They move to register their schools with the Registrar of Businesses thinking that it is final. To get started, you need to be licensed by the National Schools Inspectorate Authority. We are going to delve into that extensively in the next paragraphs.

Once the documentation aspect is done, a team will be sent by NaSIA to inspect your school. They will find out if the set-up of your school meets the criterion outlined by them.

If approved your school will be issued a valid license to operate, make sure to register with the local authority (District/municipal education service) as well.
These are all the steps one has to go through to have a school registered as licensed by the National Inspectorate Authority.
What If I am not Approved By NaSIA?
Prospective proprietors are given the opportunity by the NaSIA to make certain amendments if they are not satisfied about their findings. You are at liberty to ask questions on what to do at any given point during the schools registration processes.
Note that there are fees that one has to pay in all these processes. This will be disclosed to you when you visit the Agencies to begin with the registration processes.
