A STAR-Ghana Foundation forum on “Promoting Girls’ Education in Ghana” has called on all stakeholders to help promote access to education for all, particularly girls.
The participants were of the view that improving access to education for girls was a shared responsibility, adding that government alone cannot provide access to quality education for all.
There was therefore a call for increased collaboration among CSOs, and partnership between CSOS and government.
Speaking at the event, the Director of the Girls’ Education Unit at the Ministry of Education, Gifty Asiedu, said although government is doing its part; appointment of girls’ education officers in the regions, districts, in schools, and in some cases, men taking up the role, girls still have issues and need support.
“It is so huge that government cannot carry this burden alone. We need to deliberate on ways to give vulnerable girls the opportunity to access education. Girls need to be given opportunities, and helped,” she said.
