This led to the introduction of the Capitation Grant Scheme in 2005. This study investigates the influence of the Capitation Grant Scheme on education delivery in basic schools in  Ghana, through a close study of the Ga West Municipality. It is a descriptive survey, involving teachers,  head teachers and parents as the target population. Purposive, stratified and simple random sampling  techniques were used to select participants, while questionnaire and documentary sources were used as  instruments to gather information which was summarized statistically in percentages and analysed in  themes. The main finding revealed that the introduction of the Capitation Grant Scheme was found to be  very relevant and has led to an increase in enrolment in basic schools. However, the increase in  enrolment brought about some challenges such as inadequate classrooms, furniture, textbooks, teaching  and learning materials and a high pupil-teacher ratio. The researchers recommend an increase in the  quantum of the grant per pupil and direct payment into the accounts of schools to reduce annual delays  in disbursement.  \nKeywords: Capitation grant, Education delivery, Basic school, Policy, Scheme.  \nContents  \n1.
