ABSTRACT
The study investigated the contribution of Action Aid International
Ghana (AAIG) in the provision of quality basic education in the Upper East
Region. The study seeks to identify the extent to which AAIG has contributed
to infrastructural development, teachingllearning materials (including
textbooks), staffing, in-service training and Girl-Child Education. The study
also seeks to identify how Action Aid is promoting the REV and Shepherd
school schemes as alternative models in education. A thematic approach was
adopted for the research.
The descriptive survey method was adopted with a sample size of 304.
The sample was purposively selected. The questionnaire was the main
instrument used to collect data from key respondents. The data was analysed
using frequencies and simple percentage distributions.
The major findings are that AAIG has to a large extent contributed to
provide classrooms built with suitable materials, furniture and office
accommodation for headteachers. AAIG has also contributed to build the
capacities of headteachers, teachers, PTAs and SMCs through in-service
training. It has also promoted girl-child education through the education of
parents'on the benefits of girl-child education and educational tours for girls in
basic schools.
Another major finding is that AAIG has promoted alternative models
in education through its Rural Education Volunteer and Shepherd School
Schemes. The study recommends to Action Aid to collaborate with other
development partners and GES to make in-service training regular. It should
also consider revising the allowances of REV teachers and provide more
teachers and toilet facilities for the Shepherd schools.
