USAID’s Education Program increases the number of Ghanaian children who are able to read with fluency and comprehension in the early grades of primary school.

According to the 2015 Early Grade Reading Assessment, only two percent of grade 2 students in Ghana are able to read at grade level. To address this challenge, USAID supports teacher training, rigorous student assessment, and the provision of quality textbooks and learning materials. USAID assists the Government of Ghana to strengthen the delivery of education services directly related to improving reading achievement.
