The students had difficulty with their breathing and severe headaches.
The Ghana News Agency (GNA) found six of the students at the Ho Municipal Hospital, who said some of their colleagues had been sent to the Volta Regional Hospital, Ho.
They were not sure about the numbers but said they could be about 20.
