Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the contribution of the NGOs towards basic
education in Awutu-Effutu- Senya district (AESD) of Central Region Of Ghana.
The study employed the descriptive survey design and drew samples from twenty
communities of the district which were beneficiaries of the NGOs interventions. Two
different set of questionnaires were used for the collection of data, one for the 15 field
managers/officers of the NGOs who were into basic education and the other for five
assembly members, ten chiefs and hundred basic school teachers of the beneficiary
schools. The entire sample size for the study was one hundred and thirty.
The study revealed that the NGOs have performed well in providing school
buildings, furniture, libraries, water and sanitation aids, advocacy for child right to
education, supply of learning materials and teachers’ quarters in some deprived
communities in the district. The NGOs interventions have increased access to basic
schools, high attendance, and, retention and completion rates. However, there is not much
increase in the number of pupils entering Senior High Schools than what used to be, since
children were not obtaining the required grades to gain admission to Senior High School.
Educational problems that persist in the district include inadequate furniture and
classrooms for some schools, lack of teachers’ accommodation, poor parental control,
inadequate text books and educational materials and lack of libraries in most schools.
The Chiefs, Assembly members and teachers in the district regard the NGOs as a
great development partners in basic education.
