  "account": "Ghana has set forth on a new path for children’s social, emotional and behavioural development with the official launch of Pyramid Model Ghana. This initiative aims to improve the environments where children learn, grow and flourish. The new program was launched by Thara Brigitte Mills-Simmonds, founder of several educational and resource centers, who emphasized that education should not only mean passing exams, but also preparing children for life. While literacy and numeracy are crucial, Mills noted that academic success alone does not fully equip children with the skills needed to navigate everyday life, such as regulating emotions, building relationships, communicating needs and coping with pressure. The Pyramid Model offers a structured approach to supporting children’s social, emotional and behavioural development, equipping educators, families, and practitioners with strategies to create inclusive learning environments. The model is not meant to replace current curricula, but to complement them and strengthen the learning environments. The launch was attended by notable guests including Mr. Rob Corso, Dr. Miriam Kpakpa, and Dr. Adoquaye Tagoe, highlighting the collective effort required to improve children’s wellbeing and development. Pyramid Model Ghana aims to foster a national conversation about the importance of relationships, supportive learning environments, emotional wellbeing and improving outcomes for children. Ultimately, the launch signals the start of this conversation and a commitment to creating a more supportive future for Ghana’s children.",
