The Akuapem South Education Directorate, in line with activity implementation at the pre-tertiary level undertook a number of activities to improve on learning outcomes. These activities, which were carried out at the Primary, JHS and SHS levels sought to capacitate both teachers and learners in the areas of teaching and learning.
The activities implemented included the organisation of drama at the Adamorobe and Agyemanti school communities. These drama, which was scripted and acted by the learners impressed on parents to be more responsive to the educational needs of their wards. Parents in all the school communities visited expressed satisfaction at their children’s performances and pledged to ensure they adequately cater for both the school and other needs of their children. In all the school communities visited, participation was very encouraging. Funding for the drama was made possible by the Communities of Excellence Programme, a Government of Ghana educational intervention meant to improve on learning outcomes.
The Directorate also led the organisation of an inter school quizzes at the upper primary and JHS levels, to improve on the literacy and numeracy abilities of learners. The competition, which spanned core subjects such as English Language and Mathematics, was aimed at improving the proficiency levels of learners, especially girls at the pre-tertiary level of education. The Communities of Excellence Programme and KOICA, provided funds to support the organisation. All the primary and JHS high schools in the municipality took part in the competition.
In an attempt to provide an enabling environment for learners, a circuit-based training of two teachers in each school (the Guidance and Counseling and the Girl Child school based representatives) on how to identify and support learners who go through socio-economic challenges that affect their learning was organised. This was aimed at finding lasting solutions to the learning challenges school children go through.
Also, Strengthening the capacities of headteachers, an identification and profiling exercise was undertaken on headteachers with low capacity so that the proper coaching and mentoring support could be given to them. The essence of this was to shore up the performances of these headteachers, for them to be more effective and efficient in their administrative duties.
Currently, the standard based curriculum makes provision for Continuous Professional Development, so that teachers will continue to remain abreast with the current trends in education. The Directorate, which also has teacher development and professional wellbeing at heart, religiously monitored the conduct of PLC sessions in all schools in the Directorate.
In appreciation of resourcing the schools for a seamless flow of teaching and learning, the Directorate, through the Communities of Excellence Programme purchased One Hundred and Twenty-Five (125) lesson notebooks for selected schools in the Directorate .This action was taken to help teachers prepare very well for teaching and learning.
SISOs and the other schedule officers in their regular school monitoring continued to enforce extensive reading hours in all primary schools in the directorate, so that the reading abilities of learners will improve.
