Plan International Ghana, a Non-Gov­ernmental Organisa­tio (NGO), in collab­oration with the Wa Municipal Education Directorate, has organised a three-day training on the new curriculum for 455 selected basic school teach­ers in North East and the Upper West Regions.

The training was aimed at equipping teachers to improve in their classroom delivery for them to support their student's, particu­larly young girls to improve in their academic studies.

Speaking at the opening cere­mony in Wa yesterday, the Manager for Plan International Ghana, Mr Sulemana Gbana Hor, said the training was designed to help update the skills and knowledge of the teachers on the new teaching methods and strategies in order to help improve their classroom delivery.

He said the organisation realised that over the year's reports from the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC), regarding Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) indicated that children had weaknesses, especially in English, mathematics and science.
