The KickStart Ghana summer school is one our favourite projects. In 2014 we worked with St Cecilia School to offer 70 of their year 6 children the chance to receive extra-curricular and non-compulsary education. This took for the form of curriculum lessons with Ghanaian teachers and extra-curricular lessons with volunteers. We have been delighted with the feedback from students and teachers alike and the full report can be read here.
Highlights include:
- 100% of the children felt they learnt a lot during the school
- 97% look forward to continuing their educations
- 93% would like to return to summer school next year
- Teachers felt that both they and the students learnt a lot during the school.
We would like to say a particularly big thank you to YTFN and the Total Foundation for their support of our summer club.
