Context
Sub-Saharan Africa is at the epicentre of a global learning crisis. According to the World Bank and UNESCO, 87% of 10-year-olds in the region cannot read and understand a simple story. In Ghana specifically, many children progress through basic school without foundational literacy skills, leaving them unable to benefit from higher-level subjects. The situation is compounded by large class sizes, inadequate teacher training, and limited access to age-appropriate reading materials, particularly for children from low-income households.
The consequences of this learning poverty are severe: poor academic performance, higher dropout rates, reduced confidence and critical thinking skills, limited economic opportunities, and entrenched intergenerational poverty.
