Program Details

Education is widely accepted across the globe to be one, if not the most effective tools for development. In a community, city, state, country and a continent where there is focus on quality education, the probability that the people will be liberated from poverty and low standard of living is very high. However, in Ghana, many places, especially, the rural and deprived areas, factors that contribute to quality education, such as adequate educational facilities and institutions, adequate teaching and non-teaching staff, adequate and quality teaching materials, good teaching methods and congenial teaching environments are lacking, which makes it important to involve volunteers, if indeed, we desire to achieve the attainment of quality education for many.

Volunteers are usually posted to selected schools where students are underprivileged, to be able to help the kids.

Activities & Shift

Volunteers shall be assigned by the head of the school to do the following: preparing of lesson notes where needed, teach the students effectively, discuss education related issues with students, assess the performance of students through class work or homework, develop better teaching methods and apply them for better understanding of concepts. A volunteer who cannot teach the whole class, but prefers to engage students individually, is allowed to do so with slow students who have not yet caught up with the entire class. Volunteers presence, ideas, and energy in the work is enough to excite students and motivate teachers as well, for a more excellent job.

Rules

1.Volunteers are to follow the academic curriculum.
2.Volunteers should prepare their lesson notes before class.
3. Volunteers must ensure that learning materials brought from home should be inspected by the coordinators before it can be use in school.
4. Sports and other activities that will involve pupils should be notice by the school head authority before volunteers acn organise it for pupils.
