Civil Society Organisations in Ghana's education sector are advocating for a significant overhaul in how education resources are allocated. They argue that current funding and support systems are failing to meet the needs of deprived communities, leading to persistent inequalities in areas such as teacher deployment, school infrastructure, learning outcomes, and the inclusion of children with special needs.
This call for change came during a Dialogue and Joint Advocacy Planning Session in Tamale, organized by School for Life and the Northern Network for Education Development (NNED) under the CLEAR Project. The gathering of education-focused NGOs highlighted the need for a more equitable distribution of resources, despite recent improvements in certain areas like the Capitation Grant, school feeding program, and free sanitary pad initiative.
