The Ghana Education Service (GES) has rolled out the Differentiated Learning Plus (DL+) initiative, a comprehensive strategy aimed at addressing foundational learning crises in primary education.
This innovative approach is being implemented with technical and financial support from UNICEF Ghana.
The DL+ initiative focuses on improving learners literacy and numeracy skills among basic 2 to 6 learners, promoting combined teaching methods to include targeted instructions, universal design for learning and play-based learning to enhance teachers skills, and engaging families and communities in the learning process.
This approach allows learners to develop their skills and improve their performance by their abilities rather than their grades.

As part of the initiative, Public Relations officers from 50 operational districts and the 16 Regional Public Relations Officers were engaged from November 27th to 28th to develop an advocacy plan for promoting the DL+ initiative.
This plan will help to raise awareness about the importance of differentiated learning to garner support from families and communities and promote foundational learning.
The GES is committed to improving learning outcomes for all students, and the DL+ initiative is a critical step towards achieving this goal.
With the support of partners like UNICEF Ghana, the GES is confident that this initiative will have a lasting impact on the education sector in Ghana.
