VOLUNTEER TEACHER IN GHANA.

Ghana is one of the premier destinations in west Africa. A country endowed with breathtaking landscapes, changing terrain and exotic coastline. The diversity of culture and people is beautiful and Ghanaians are known to be very welcoming.

There is a genuine need for assistance particularly in primary schools where education has recently been made compulsory across the country – there are simply not enough teachers to go around so any extra help is very gladly welcomed. You will work alongside your local colleagues, primarily to teach either:

Basic English
Basic Mathematics
Basic French
Basic Computer Programmes
Basic Health Science etc or be a teaching assistant.

Please seriously give it a thought and apply today to volunteer. The age of the students a volunteer will handle depends on the class but for Basic, ranges from 5-15years and Vocational ranging from 15-21years.
We are looking for more volunteers, the role of the volunteer goes far beyond assisting the students and the school. Children are attracted to school by the presence of volunteers and your presence also is a proven moral booster for parents and the limited teachers as well as a great inspiration for students. Help us at least to keep the children in classrooms.

Program objectives
First to help us keep the children in the classrooms and interested in coming to school each day.

To compliment the effort of stakeholders to offer proper education to all as a policy of mitigating poverty, violence and crime

To help the deprived acquire better and competitive education to pursue further studies and jobs aside the farming and hunting persistent in such areas  

To encourage the children and their parents to attend school. Due to the lack of teachers, students' performance has been nothing to help them pursue further studies or some other jobs. After the elementary education, the end up in the same old form of sustenance so the parents and even the youth see school attendance as a waste of time and chose to rather follow their parents to farms and hunting. By offering volunteers into these communities, lack of teachers will be managed whiles quality education shall be offered these children

To create an enlightenment and evolution of the cultures and traditions practiced by the communities to accommodate norms and policies that will open them up for development. This will be made so through the exchange of culture that will take place between the volunteers and the residents of the communities/villages

To offer volunteers a pure experience of the culture and traditions of the communities. The communities in the cities have seen their cultures transform into a cosmopolitan thus the experience of true culture and traditions of the people is found in these villages only.

To offer the volunteer an opportunity to make a positive contribution into the live of a disadvantaged to satisfy his/her social conscience.

To promote twin-city relations between the communities of volunteers and that of the deprived but rich in culture.
