| description | Systems approach for better education
results (SABER) - engaging the private sector (EPS) research
in Ghana has found that enrollment rates for primary and
secondary education have increased significantly. At both
the primary and secondary levels, quality, and equity remain
challenges. The private sector plays an increasingly
significant role in education at both levels. Based on a
review of existing policies, SABER-EPS offers the following
recommendations for Ghana to enhance private sector
engagement in education and meet the challenges of access,
quality, and equity: (1) strengthen policies to ensure
independent private schools are more accountable for
learning outcomes; (2) provide greater incentives to support
a diverse number of private school providers while ensuring
equitable access; and (3) encourage innovation in schools by
ensuring greater flexibility in managing schools, services,
and staff. This report presents an analysis of how
effectively policies in Ghana engage the private sector in
basic (primary and secondary) education. The report provides
an overview of the SABER-EPS tool, followed by a description
of the basic education system in Ghana that focuses on the
private sector and government policies related to the
private provision of education. The report then benchmarks
Ghana’s policy environment utilizing the SABER-EPS framework
and offers policy options to enhance access and learning for
all children in primary and secondary school. |
