Volunteer to teach in Rural Ghana

Post by richardkarmah »

VOLUNTEER IN GHANA TO TEACH

Shortage of teachers, especially English teachers has become a serious blow to the education of children in the rural communities in Ghana, during this academic year.Volunteers are needed to help children learn how to read English. African calabash volunteer has affordable opportunities for volunteers who want to teach English in Ghana.
Our teaching programme is for volunteers who want to do volunteering work in the educational sector in Ghana.
We place volunteers in schools to assist local teachers in classrooms.ACE volunteers should be english speakers because the medium of instruction in Ghanaian schools is the english language.
Senior high school is the minimum requirement for volunteers who want to teach in schools in Ghana.Most volunteers who take part in our ACE programme prefer to teach at the lower classes.Volunteers have to decide the duration they want to teach in a day and the number of days they prefer to teach in a week.
ARRIVAL
Upon arrival,our staff will be at the Airport to pick you up.Please do not forget to send us your flight information.You will spend the first night in Accra if your flight comes in later than 7:00pm,before proceeding to the project site.
