“Lazy teachers’ school”
becomes a model in Ghana’s second largest city |
Kentikrono is a deprived urban community in Kumasi, Ghana’s
second largest city. Its only public primary school, Kentikrono Metropolitan
Authority Primary, enrolled only 215 pupils in 1999. The pupils could
not correctly express themselves in English. Teachers neither prepared
detailed lesson plans for effective presentation of lessons nor used
teaching and learning materials. Community-teacher relations were
so poor that parents openly called the school “lazy teachers’
school”. Story

Wow! QUIPS has done it for me
|
I have every reason to be full of joy, for Quality Improvements
in Primary Schools (QUIPS) has really made me great. Never did I dream
that I would ever receive a “Best Teacher” award - not
even at the district, let alone the national level. Story

The USAID QUIPS program supports interventions at three levels
|
Kanga Local Authority Primary School in the Northern Region of
Ghana is one of the many schools that have benefited immensely from
QUIPS. Before the selection of the school in the 2000/2001 school
year for the QUIPS program, the school's performance was very poor.
The pupils' mastery was so low that teaching English language in the
upper primary was difficult. Story
