Upon the importance of using this day to create the awareness of the need for quality education in Africa and the world and help underprivileged children to improve their educational status, there was a need to come up with a program that will enable others to also join in the movement.
Research shows that one out of ten children is still out of school globally. About 2.7 billion children of school going age are illiterate across the world with a higher percentage residing in Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa to be precise. As much as the percentage number of children out of school has reduced over the years, the actual numbers reveal that there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure no child is left out. Several studies have proven that, when a child receives education, it increases his/her ability to become successful in future.
The program focused on Sustainable Development Goal 3 which was planned under the theme ‘Promoting a Holistic Quality Education and the Ghanaian Culture”. As it goal centered on championing;
– Holistic quality educational systems.
– Nurturing the talents of children as a core component of child education.
– Creating educational opportunities for underprivileged children.
– Equal opportunities for children with disabilities.
– Teaching children to appreciate the Ghanaian culture and our language.
