Abstract: One cannot dispute the fact that schools play critical role in the performance of learners. Pupils in school are exposed to the same instructional activities but their performances differ. The purpose of this study is to explore challenges of teaching and learning of Home Economics in Ebuom Municipal Assembly (M/A) Junior High School (JHS). The study adopted a case study. A sample size of 9 comprising of 6 students and 3 teachers. Interview was the research instrument utilized. Qualitative data analysis such as thematic data analysis was used in analyzing the data. From the study, it was revealed that, the environment of Ebuom M/A JHS contributed to the challenges in teaching home economics and students contributed negatively to the challenges of teaching and learning home economics. From the study, it is concluded that Students should be made aware that home economics is for all students. School environment should be made friendly by school authorities to enable home economics lessons to be attractive. From the study it is recommended that the Ghana education service should provide more tools and equipment to schools to improve learning of Home Economics.
