Education Quality for All (EQUALL) / Ghana
Through the Education Quality for All (EQUALL) project, EDC and our partner organizations implement activities designed to strengthen the quality and expand the coverage of complementary education in Ghana, and to create stronger linkages between nonformal and formal basic education programs. This effort will result in increased access to basic education for children–especially girls–who have not had the opportunity for schooling due to social, occupational, cultural, or other reasons; and in increased learning outcomes among participating children. EDC also works to improve primary school literacy skills, as well as management accountability in the Ghana school system. Read more >>
