A project from Ghana was among fifteen finalists selected for a World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) prize.<\/p>\n
The project, called REACH (Reaching and Teaching Out-of-School Children in Ghana), is dedicated to helping Ghanaian children who have been out of school for an extended period transition back into primary school.<\/p>\n
Students enrolled in REACH are offered a nine-month education program that will help them catch up on what they have missed.<\/p>\n
REACH is a collaboration between Plan International, the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service, and local communities.<\/p>\n
The World Innovation Summit for Education recognizes and promotes projects that are addressing global educational challenges. The topics include early childhood education, basic infrastructure for schools, and girls’ education.<\/p>\n
REACH also involves a five-year program that \u201cwill enroll 90,000 boys and girls from 34 of the most disadvantaged districts across five regions of Ghana in a child-friendly, locally adapted education,\u201d states the WISE website.<\/p>\n
The work of the education-based program also involves gender equality and changing community perceptions of girls and women.<\/p>\n
Of the fifteen finalists, six will be selected for the $20,000 award at the WISE conference in November.<\/p>\n
