The FCDO project 'Tools For Teachers' was finally completed this year and given an A+ grading. Outcomes exceeded expectations with all targeted outputs achieved. UKAid noted, that due to interventions shared in the training, there was a significant improvement in primary reading age of more than 6 months (Initial testing of over two thousand children identified most children’s reading age was less than half their actual age).
The project trained 180 Ghanaian teachers in how to support children with SEN in their classroom. The training was from a literacy perspective and gave guidance, advice and resources to each teacher. Identifying local ‘hub teachers’ to promote new teaching techniques has made the training locally sustainable.
LFLG have a strong policy portfolio in place that is reviewed annually by the trustees.
