The world’s largest education outcomes fund — $30 million to get out-of-school children into the classroom and improve learning levels at primary schools — has finally kicked off in Ghana.
Over the next four years, the Ghana Education Outcomes Project, or GEOP, aims to get 70,000 out-of-school children back into the classroom and improve learning outcomes for 98,000 children across 600 primary schools.
Most of the work is being done in districts in northern Ghana although the project also aims to tackle pockets of out-of-school children living around the cities of Accra and Kumasi.
