The United States International Development Agency / Ghana's educational development goal is to "improve the reading ability of primary schools". By 2020, we will improve the reading comprehension of at least 8 million Ghana children after completing elementary school through the USAID Ghana Educational Cooperation Program.

The purpose of our education partnership program is to aim directly to promote Ghana's national development cooperation strategy of the US International Development Agency with the goal of "transitioning to Ghana's established middle-income country". The three intermediate outlines outlined in the educational development goals are 1) strengthening reading comprehension and mathematics education, 2) strengthening the basic education management system, and collaborating on all task portfolios 3) enhancing government accountability and transparency is. Our project approach emphasizes the implementation of basic educational resources through the Ghanaian government system, implementation partners, development partners, and regional solutions.

Historically, we are also supporting a community program to recruit and train volunteers to teach at rural schools for short-term staff. In 2013, the International Development Agency of the United States raised the overall growth rate of graduation rate of primary school from 93% to 98%. In addition, we also offer scholarships to support the education of 7,000 girls, including 300 children who need special learning. We cooperated with the Department of Education and Ghana Educational Services to improve our English skills. Our portfolio also provides assistance for school construction and rehabilitation in the 48 districts of Ghana.

In order to strengthen accountability, we will continue to support the National School Transcripts Program, which provides the community with actual data at the school and district level. We improved management, accountability and results by providing financial and professional technical support to over 60 locations. Participation in communities is very important for public education programs, so we will support the efforts of parents and other community members to promote quality education.

The international community has spent billions of dollars on building schools and programs, from teacher training to regional education in remote villages. Since the collapse of the Taliban at the end of 2001, only the US International Development Agency has spent more than $ 850 million on education. Since the collapse of the Taliban, about 4,000 schools have been built, but in some states more schools are needed. At the same time, some states have closed numerous schools because of lack of safety and teachers, or because there is not enough households to allow children to attend school.
