#DYK despite 10% of the world relying on the benefits of the ocean, less than 1% of its $1.5T contribution to the global economy has been invested in sustainable ocean projects over the past decade?🌊

Great to meet alumni of the UK’s Chevening and Commonwealth scholarship programme, to hear how they are influencing positive change in Ghana 🇬🇭

Over 350 Chevening & 2100 Commonwealth Ghanaian scholars have studied in UK to date. We are trying to make sure more of them are women

Great to be out in Aburi today with Special Envoy @HelenGrantMP meeting some of the 17,000 out-of-school girls being given a second chance at an education by #UKAid. Many of these young women have never been to school or left early because they married, had a baby or had to work.

Immunisations protect us & the next generation from potentially life-threatening diseases like polio. This means communities can work & generate a livelihood.

Congratulating Ghana’s new Minister of Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum today. We spoke of the longstanding 🇬🇭 🇬🇧partnership on education.

@UKinGhana continues to support Ghana to ensure that every child - girl and boy, from Accra to Zebilla - gets 12 years of quality education.

[Iain Walker @walkeriain]

1. Ensure full Covid-secure school re-opening in January 2021 as planned.
Development Partners encourage government to fast-track preparations, so that the 7.2 million children still at home can go back to school as soon as possible.

[Philip Smith @PhilipSmithFCDO]

2. Target support for the most marginalised children. We know #COVID19 has had a disproportionate impact on girls, children with disabilities, and lower-income households. We need to bring ALL children back to school – especially girls.

[Philip Smith @PhilipSmithFCDO]

3. Support teachers on the front-line. Most teachers stopped teaching in March. Teachers may have lost income or feel underprepared to return to school. It is important that government focuses on enhancing teachers’ capacity in remedial teaching & psychosocial support.

[Philip Smith @PhilipSmithFCDO]

4. Refocus on measuring outcomes for teachers and children. With significant reforms to the education system, it is now time to switch to measuring progress on ‘delivery’, and outcomes for teachers and children: measuring re-enrolment figures, out-of-school children, attendance.

[Philip Smith @PhilipSmithFCDO]

5. Strengthen collaboration across ministries. #COVID19 has shown the importance of the Ministry of Education working closely with others. This is critical for improving school health provision, addressing sexual and gender-based violence and addressing education inequalities.

On day 2 of National Education Week our Education Adviser @gracelouisewood shared a panel with leaders in the sector to discuss the accountability reforms needed to improve children's learning, learning assessments, school inspections, teacher support, data use + much more.

[Grace Louise Wood @gracelouisewood]

It's been an amazing experience for @UKinGhana to chair Education Development Partners in Ghana over the past year. At @moegovgh National Education Week 2020, @PhilipSmithFCDO recommended 5 key priorities for 2021 to reopen schools, support teachers + leave no child behind
