Ghana has made great strides in the education space, with the youth literacy rate jumping from 71 to 86 percent between 2000 and 2010, and the gross enrollment rate in secondary education increasing from 57 percent in 2012 to 73 percent in 2017. However, Ghana’s education system continues to struggle with a shortage of trained teachers, poor learning outcomes despite increased enrollment rates and disparities between rural and urban regions.
