Transformational Teacher Training enables teachers to deliver active, play based learning, widely recognised as the most effective method for teaching early years. A resource pack for every classroom will enable teachers to introduce the new learning approach and make their own classroom materials.

    Situation

    Despite policy reforms making kindergarten education a compulsory part of primary education in Ghana, the sector is woefully underfunded. 51% of teachers have had no formal training and classroom resources are inappropriate and scarce, with one workbook for every three children in school. Research shows improvements at this age deliver a greater rate of return then investments at any other stage in the education system 33:1 (Psacharopoulos, 2014)

    Solution

    Sabre's Transformational Teacher Training programme is tackling the shortage of trained teachers and through the classroom resource pack project, we are also tackling the lack of teaching resources. These packs provide a sustainable solution; using locally printed books and local crafts people as well as providing guidance for teachers to make their own resources from low cost reclaimed materials.
