Capital of the Central Region, Cape Coast is home to over 200,000 people. Over one-third of children in the region attend community schools with fees often below $1 per day.

• In Partnership with CPDTE we are running a 20-school testbed trialling an integrated structured literacy program, alongside a technology supported instructional leadership program.

• Our ambition is to expand our program with CPDTE to 200 schools by 2027 while also exploring larger-scale rollouts in partnership with Ghana Education Services.
• We are seeking funding partners to accelerate this work and enable our learning agenda.
