According to local education authorities, this is because the only government high school in the district, Bahn High School, lacks sufficient classroom space to accommodate the large number of students matriculating to secondary school each year. I think the number is more than 500 per year—looking at the number of junior high school graduates,” narrated DEO Zoleglee. Out of the 60 schools, there are 14 junior high schools and two high schools – the second high school is owned by the Inland Church, with the rest being elementary schools.

However, the problems facing the Zoe-Geh school district are, according to official statistics, not unlike those in other school districts in the leeward counties.
