Work Placements - Teaching / TEFL - Ghana
Home to quite possibly the friendliest people on the planet, Ghana is an incredibly welcoming and fascinating country. Politically and economically stable, Ghana is as yet untouched by the effects of mass tourism. The country offers a mix of tribal cultures and stunning landscapes that will take your breath away.
Careerbreaker Volunteer Work Placements is based in the town of Ho, capital of the Volta Region. Home to Lake Volta, the largest man-made lake in the world, this region is characterised by rolling hills, mango plantations and waterfalls. Simply stunning!
Ho is a relatively large town and has a large market, tro-tro and bus station, a good internet café, two hotels with swimming pools that are open to daily visitors, and a number of chop bars (local ‘restaurants’), spot bars (to buy a cold soft drinks or beers), small shops and stalls that sell all the necessary essentials.
Your teaching placement will be in one of three schools in Ho. Subjects offered are similar to those in our own curriculum, and the subjects you teach will be based around your own interests and specialisms.
Teaching can be delivered in English and there is a wide variety of subjects within the National Curriculum for Primary Education including Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Cultural Studies, Ghanaian Languages, English, Agriculture, Life Skills and PE. The curriculum for Junior Secondary Education includes Vocational Skills, Technical Skills/drawing, integrated science and French (optional), in addition to the subjects mentioned above.
Under-funding, lack of resources and teacher shortages are just some of the factors which inhibit the delivery of a comprehensive education system in West Africa, despite progress made in education following the introduction by the government of the Education Reform Programme in 1987 and the implementation of FCUBE (Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education) between 1996-2005.
