GDAAR Foundation champions educational equity in Ghana, supporting the Smart Schools Project and advocating for diaspora involvement. Learn how you can volunteer or donate to our mission.

The recent news about Ghana’s Smart Schools Project (GSSP) and the “One Tablet One Student” initiative highlights the nation’s commitment to embracing the digital age in education. While this is a promising step, it’s crucial to ensure equitable access to these resources for all students, including those within the diaspora community.

GDAAR Foundation recognizes that technology alone cannot solve the challenges of educational inequality. We believe that a holistic approach, combining access to digital tools with comprehensive support and advocacy, is essential for empowering Ghanaian students and bridging educational gaps.

Our Commitment to Education:

Bridging the Digital Divide: We advocate for equal access to technology for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background or location.
Supporting Diaspora Students: We provide resources and guidance to diaspora students returning to Ghana, helping them navigate the educational landscape and access opportunities.
Empowering Teachers: We offer professional development opportunities to teachers, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to effectively utilize digital tools in their classrooms.
Community-Based Education Projects: We partner with local communities to create sustainable educational programs that address specific needs and challenges.

Ghana has made impressive progress in expanding access to secondary education, a milestone reflected in the recent Legatum Prosperity Index. The nation’s leap from 144th to 137th in the overall ranking, coupled with a significant increase in secondary school enrollment, highlights a dedication to ensuring more young Ghanaians have the chance to learn.

However, the Index’s stark revelation that Ghana ranks a disheartening 166th out of 167 countries in education quality is a call to action that the Ghana Diaspora Advocacy and Resource Foundation (GDAAR) is committed to answering.

While access is crucial, GDAAR recognizes that quality education is the cornerstone of personal empowerment and national development. We understand that without a solid foundation in critical thinking, problem-solving, and relevant skills, Ghana’s youth cannot reach their full potential or contribute meaningfully to the nation’s future.

The GDAAR Solution: Bridging the Quality Gap

GDAAR is dedicated to more than just getting students in classrooms; we’re committed to ensuring they thrive within them. Our work focuses on addressing the root causes of the quality gap:

Teacher Training and Support: We empower educators with the tools and skills to deliver engaging, high-quality instruction.
Resource Enhancement: We equip schools with modern teaching materials, technology, and infrastructure to create conducive learning environments.
Curriculum Relevance: We advocate for curricula that align with 21st-century skills and industry demands, preparing students for the workforce and higher education.
STEM Education: We prioritize science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs to foster innovation and address the growing demand for technical skills.
