You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

The FCDO 'Tools For Teachers' project continues to bring positive feedback and skills learned continue to be shared amongst local teachers and the children are forging ahead with their literacy skills. Schools in UK are sharing their surplus resources which LFLG have sent to be shared in Ghanaian schools. The Ghanaian pupils learning experience has been enhanced and lending libraries have been established in several schools. Ghana Education Service personnel monitoring these schools continue to be impressed that the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results in these schools have maintained steady improvement year on year over the last 5 years. The profile of these schools has risen, resulting in happy children, happy parents, proud teachers, satisfied GES inspectors, and more guardians wanting to enrol their wards. This in turn brings more funds into the school and makes it self-sustaining.

LFLG volunteers in Ghana and UK continue to oversee the establishment of young learners into further and higher education training opportunities.

LFLG have a strong policy portfolio in place that is reviewed annually by the trustees.
