Educational Guardianship
The demands of work, a change in family circumstances, living abroad or living in a different jurisdiction from your child's school, makes it difficult for some parents, guardians or sponsors to properly monitor a child's education. The lack of parental involvement results in school failure which can penalize children for life by limiting their career prospects, lowering their initial and lifetime earnings, thus exposing them to difficulties in adapting to rapidly changing knowledge-based economies, and a higher risk of unemployment.
Education aid in Ghana and other parts of Africa has been pivotal in the development of the education sector for decades. Through education aid, many children benefit from learning opportunities and acquire skills that enable them to participate fully in the civic and democratic aspects of a modern society. However, some sponsors and donor agencies are unable meet their targets or make the desired impact due to the absence of proper monitoring, evaluation and reporting on education aid, misappropriation of funds, inaccurate data or information and so on. Consequently, development partners in recent times expect increased accountability, transparency and proof of the effectiveness of their contribution on the ground.
In response to the forenamed challenges, Learnex Bridge exists first of all to ensure that students thrive irrespective of their unique family circumstances or any other difficulties by providing educational guardianship services that will complement the efforts of parents or guardians. Our work helps to check school failures by providing the requisite intervention or remediation in order to heighten academic success and facilitate the career progression of every learner. The children of our clients continually emerge as high achieving, well-rounded students, with improved academic, social, emotional and disciplinary outcomes.
Secondly, Learnex Bridge collaborates with development partners in Ghana and other parts of Africa in the area of monitoring, evaluation and reporting on education aid, so as to ensure that funds released are used for their intended purpose. The work done by Learnex Bridge is a relevant game changer for development partners in education and results in better planning, impactful programmes and the positive transformation of many lives.
