Ghanian Girls Demand Greater Access to Education

A Dec. 11 article on the website of Ghanian radio station Peace FM reported that girls in the Ghana's Nanumba District have organized in an effort to gain greater access to educational opportunities:
A girls club called the Nanumba Stop Violence Against Girls, has called for some interventions by government and stakeholders to overcome some of the challenges confronting girls in school.

This includes more female teachers in the Nunumba District to serve as role models and mentors to inspire them for more laurels in life. &

The girls said inadequate female teachers in schools affected their academic performances because they lacked role models and mentors to empower them.

They appealed to Teacher Training Colleges to consciously use favourable admission quota for prospective female students to increase the intake of female students.

The girls added that district assemblies should sponsor more girls into teacher training colleges.

The government and the Ghana Education Service (GES) should also provide enough resources and incentives in schools at all deprive areas to attract female teachers to accept postings to those areas.
