Our Current Work

Serving children at government-run primary schools

Imagine partnered with Afrikids on a four-school pilot, providing tablet-based instruction to children in grades 1-4, and we have since expanded to working together in 16 schools, serving nearly 5,000 students.

We also partnered with Rising Academy Network to launch a four-school pilot in January 2023, and have since expanded to 15 schools.

We served children through a center-based learning program designed for grades 1 to 4 in four primary schools

  • Location: Talensi, Ghana
  • Curriculum and Language of Instruction: Math and Literacy (in English)
  • Research Focus: How well is the delivery model working? How suitable is the intervention for learners at the different grade levels?
  • Type of Study: Implementation Study
Impact

The pilot, in partnership with Afrikids, reached over 700 children across the initial four schools. This pilot was critical for testing and building out scale models in new contexts and directly led to expansion plans to serve thousands of children in 2023.

State of Education in Ghana

As of 2021, there were over 737,000 out-of-school children and adolescents in Ghana.

Despite progress in improving access to education, thousands of children in Ghana still face barriers to learning due to overcrowded classes, inadequate facilities, and a lack of trained teachers and resources. This is particularly true in rural areas where challenges such as unsafe school buildings, long distances to school and high dropout rates—especially among girls—further widen the gap in education quality between rural and urban settings.

Population (2023): 34 million

Out-of-school children of primary school age: 547,863

Primary school completion rate (2022): 79%

Primary pupil:teacher ratio: 27:1

Adult illiterate population (2020): 3.9 million
