The Severity of the Problem

Low transition rate to further Education

In Ghana, only 21% of Senior High School graduates pursue tertiary education post-graduation.

High cost of university education

The all-in university education cost can go up to 2x the average annual household income in Ghana.

Low WASSCE pass rates

According to Ghana Education Service 2020 report, in 76% of schools, fewer than half passed leaving exams.

Lack of guidance in selecting programs

Most Senior High Schools lack structured career guidance to assist students in selecting tertiary programs.
