School
for Life Ghana, has for the past two decades been providing complementary basic
education to out-of-school children in deprived and under-served areas of Ghana.
This commitment is in line with SfL’s mission of working to strengthen civil
society’s role of improving access to relevant quality basic education by
functioning as lead organization in delivering, demonstrating and advocating
for mother-tongue based complementary basic education in underserved areas of
Ghana. School for Life strives to be a center of excellence that inspire
breakthroughs in education and provide technical support to civil society and
education stakeholders.
School
for Life has a superior track record of providing excellent complementary basic
education in mother-tongue for out-of-school children. This has endowed the organization
with enormous experiences, expertise and knowledge of challenges of basic
education in Ghana and has therefore positioned the organization in a better
place to present alternative ways of surmounting the challenges of basic
education and to support the nation’s efforts at achieving universal basic
education by 2015.
The
learning and Development Center (LDC) was therefore established in 2012 to
serve as a resource center that provides technical support to education
stakeholders. The LDC has since been operational and has provided technical
support to: IPA in the TCAI project, TZEDEK in piloting the EQUIP project,
ACDEP and a number of private basic schools in Tamale.
As
one of the ways of extending the services of the LDC to other parts of Ghana, a
workshop was organized in the Upper East Region to advertise the LDC, the
services available, who can access services and how to access the services. The
workshop was very successful. Participants who were drawn from the Ghana
Education Service, the mission education units, NGOs, CBOs, CSOs and private
institutions were happy to learn of a center like the LDC that can support them
in their efforts to providing quality education. A number of the private
institutions pledged to contact the LDC to access services especially in the
area of training teaching staff to improve quality of teaching and learning.
The
LDC exist to provide services and technical support to education institutions,
NGOs, CBOs, CSOs and all education stakeholders to better quality of education
in Ghana. You can contact the LDC at sfl@vodafone.com.gh

prosperous venture for the future generations.
