From July 25th to 26th, 2025, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) organised a comprehensive 2-day assessor training followed by a 10-day data collection exercise for the Cohort 3 Endline of Out-of-School Children (OOSC) Assessment. This project aims to evaluate the learning outcomes of learners participating in the programme across four key regions: Savannah, Northern, North East, and Oti.
The intensive training, held on July 25th and 26th, saw 140 enumerators equipped with the necessary skills to conduct standardised assessments in local languages, including Likpakpaln, Brifour, Dagbani, Ewe, Ashanti Twi, Gonja, Mampruli, and Dagaare. Training modules covered assessment procedures, the use of digital tablets, ethical considerations, and data quality assurance, ensuring culturally sensitive and accurate evaluations.
Following the training, the data collection phase began on July 28th and spanned ten days. Assessors were deployed across ALP centers, utilizing digital tablets to facilitate real-time data entry and effective supervision. The integration of technology streamlined data management and troubleshooting, maintaining high standards of data integrity throughout the process.
Madam Anita Collison, Director of NaCCA’s Standards, Assessment, and Quality Assurance Directorate, emphasized the importance of this effort: “This comprehensive data collection is vital for understanding the impact of the Accelerated Learning Programme. The insights gained will shape our strategies to enhance educational access and outcomes for out-of-school children across Ghana.”
The success of this extensive assessment exercise was made possible through strong coordination of NaCCA’s facilitators. With robust logistical support and a focus on data-driven decision-making, NaCCA continues to pave the way for a brighter future for Ghana’s children.
