The Teach2Teach programme, a collaboration between Link Community Development Ghana and Teach2Teach International, aims to enhance literacy and numeracy skills in public primary schools across five districts in the Northern and Savannah Regions. The initiative, launched in 2017, employs interactive teaching methods, community volunteers, and radio education to improve children's reading and numeracy abilities.
Trained Community Volunteer Teachers will supplement classroom learning and gain experience that could lead to professional teaching careers. Radio broadcasts in local languages and English will inform communities about the program's progress and encourage their involvement in supporting children's education.
The programme targets pupils in grades 1 to 3, with Community Volunteer Teachers providing additional support and identifying effective teaching approaches. The Ghana Education Service, district authorities, and community leaders will collaborate with partners to ensure the programme's success. Radio broadcasts extend educational messages beyond the target districts, promoting community discussions on practical ways to support children's learning.
