The Ghana Education ServiceSenior Management team has engaged with Pricewaterhouse Coopers LTD Ghana as part of preliminary efforts towards the rolling out of the Ghana Education Service Workforce Initiative (GESWI) programme.
The (GESWI) programme will help the GES to among other things improve its human resources. The programme will help improve the GES workforce with focused execution of roles, continuous monitoring and evaluation that support children to learn at the right level and prepare them for life-skills training and future employment.
The specific benefits of the programme are likely to include:
- Improved teaching and learning: The programme will focus on improving the skills and knowledge of teachers, so that they can better support students’ learning. This could include providing teachers with training in new teaching methods, or giving them access to resources such as textbooks and learning materials.

- Increased access to education: The programme will also work to increase access to education, by building new schools and classrooms, and by providing financial assistance to students who cannot afford to pay for school.
- Improved infrastructure: The programme will also invest in improving the infrastructure of schools, such as providing them with better facilities and equipment. This will create a more conducive learning environment for students.
- Better management: The programme will also work to improve the management of the GES, by strengthening its systems and procedures. This will make the GES more efficient and effective in delivering education services.
- Enhanced child protection: The programme will also focus on enhancing child protection in schools, by providing teachers and other staff with training on how to identify and respond to cases of child abuse and neglect.
Overall, the GESWI programme is a major initiative that has the potential to significantly improve the quality of education in Ghana. The specific benefits of the programme will vary depending on the specific interventions that are implemented, but the overall goal is to create a more equitable and inclusive education system that provides all children with the opportunity to succeed.
