Title
Working Towards Education Success Using Data: A review of Ghana's journey towards improved learning outcomes using data
Abstract
The sub-Saharan Africa region is trapped in a learning crisis with devastating implications for children. The Covid-19 pandemic further exacerbated the situation, with children losing an estimated equivalent of an additional year’s learning. Not addressing the regional learning crisis will have a detrimental impact on economic development and well-being and risks restricting future national and regional economic growth and productivity and fuelling social unrest.
Education research has shown that good quality education system data, when judiciously used, can support improved learning outcomes among a host of other positive impacts on national education systems.
This case study is the first in a series documenting the journey of Ghana’s Ministry of Education towards the effective use of data to guide its decision-making for policy and practice.
Keywords: data for decision making; data governance; data management; Ghana; education data systems; evidence-based policy
