3 THE MERITS OF ST. VINCENT COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, YENDI-GHANA St. Vincent College of Education-Yendi is a teacher training facility with special concern for girl child education through a special support and recruitment of rural female candidates, who constitute 50% of total enrolment as trainee teachers. The most practical way of supporting and keeping the rural girl child in school is by improving the perennial poor educational standards in six disadvantaged rural districts of Ghana through the training of teachers recruited from among the local rural population, who after graduation will remain to teach in these rural schools to improve academic performance. Ghana Education Service statistics and the 2000 Ghana Population Census indicated that in 2002, the literacy rate of the Northern Region of Ghana, where Yendi and Saboba are located was lower than 5 percent. Also, 40 percent of school-age children, mostly girls, were out of school. The great majority of children do not complete the compulsory nine years of primary school and consequently do not attain a basic level of literacy. The Northern Region receives only 4 percent of recurrent budget expenditures, although it has 10 percent of Ghana s total population. ( Even if children enter school and complete a cycle, little is gained unless they have actually learned to read, write, calculate, and use these tools to solve real life problems. According to Ministry of Education 2003 Education for All (EFA)-Fast Track Initiative (FTI) statistics, Ghana s national survival rate to sixth grade is 66 percent. In the Northern Region, the survival rate from first to third grade is 59.4 percent, with 47.9 percent reaching fourth grade from first, and only 35.5 percent reaching sixth grade. ( ) The majority of Ghana s population of 23,351 (UNICEF, 1980) close to 70% live in rural areas (UNICEF). These rural areas are deprived of adequate social (health and education) and economic infrastructure. Employment and economic prospects are bleak. Thus, the majority of Ghana s children who are born into rural localities are more poverty affected and have less access to basic education. The six local districts of Yendi, Saboba, Chereponi, Gushegu, Karaga and Zabzugu-Tatali where, for eight years Erasmus have lived and worked as a Graduate Teacher and volunteer School Counsellor, Development coordinator and member of District School inspectorate Team are among the most deprived/disadvantaged rural districts in Ghana. These six districts have a total population of approximately of 600, The three northern savannah regions of Ghana, namely: Northern, Upper East and Upper West have the highest prevalence of poverty and extreme poverty and the lowest rate of school access by children, most especially; the girl-children of school going age. All the above six districts which St. Vincent College of Education will serve belong to this deprived Northern Region of Ghana. Most inhabitants of our six rural districts are subsistent farmers and due to their perennial poor farm yields (result of poor rainfall pattern) most of them remain below the poverty line. The standard of formal education, which would have served as a catalyst for further education and improved livelihood for the children of these farmers unfortunately remains very low. The few rural children who entered the primary school hardly make it to the middle school and to the Senior High School as the school dropout rate is high. This is mostly due to the poor teaching and learning environment that prevails in the rural schools in the Districts. In Ghana, public schools accommodate the majority of children from poor and rural disadvantaged communities. If rural schools are well managed with adequate trained teachers, many poor people will be able to have access to a reasonable level of education leading to an increase in the literacy rate in the country. This will also lead to poverty
4 reduction as these poor people will be developed enough to take up jobs and thereby earn income. Quality education is a right and not a privilege and must therefore be accessible to everyone. The results of the 2007/2008 Basic School Certificate Examinations (BECE) were poor as almost 40 percent of the total number of candidates failed (Myjoyonline News, 2008) and many of those who failed come from rural and disadvantaged Junior High Schools. There is no doubt that quality and higher educational attainment of household head can lead to improvement in household economic condition. The results of a study carried out by Unicef under the title: Global Study on child poverty and disparities in Ghana between 2007 and 2008 support the fact that formal education leads to better economic opportunities which in turn translate into child wellbeing. Thanks for all your generosity and continuous assistance. CONTACT: Erasmus K.N. Mortty (enorview@our.ecu.edu.au Erasmus K.

7 This project is designed to establish a college (ST. VINCENT COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, YENDI) to develop and train local teachers for rural school children in a complex built by the local people using local materials. Once built, the Ghana Education Service and the Catholic Diocese of Yendi will be responsible for running and maintaining the College. You are invited to be part of this humanitarian project to: Develop a training complex for local rural trainee teachers Improve education for rural children, with special emphasis on the rural girl-child in Ghana Reduce school drop-out and rural poverty To educate a child is to provide a gift for life to the child, to the family, to the local communities of Yendi and Saboba and to the country of Ghana BACKGROUND: In Yendi and Saboba and other rural remote villages in Northern Ghana, schools exist and the students are willing but there is a severe shortage of teachers. THE DIRECTOR Fr Erasmus K Norviewu-Mortty, a Divine Word Missionary priest from Ghana, is currently studying towards his doctorate in education at Edith Cowan University in Western Australia. Along with many supporters in Ghana and Australia, Erasmus has begun the work and laid the foundations to establish a rural education project to train local teachers for the impoverished communities of Yendi and Saboba. The success of this project will enable local high school graduates to be trained as teachers and then to be employed in their own district. They will be powerful role models within their communities THE TECHNOLOGY Rammed earth technology is highly appropriate for building in a country with an abundance of low cost and willing labour. This technology will enable local people to build their own college using local materials. THE PROJECT The initial project is developed in stages designed to allow supporters and sponsors to assist in a practical way of contributing towards a specific part of the project. These stages are: Construction of Initial 3 classrooms with 4 offices to serve as Lecture rooms, Interim Library and Administration Purchase of Mechanical Compaction Equipment for use of rammed earth technology to reduce cost of construction (from RAMTECH, Cottesloe, Western Australia) Purchase of RAMTEC Formwork One Month of Training in Perth in Rammed Earth technology for two workers from Ghana Transport of the equipment from Perth to Ghana Construction of 8 essential buildings including Administration, Library, ICT & Science labs, Students dormitories, staff accommodation, dining halls and kitchen, etc. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A SUPPORTER & SPONSOR OF THIS EXCITING PROJECT THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE LIVES & FUTURE OF MANY RURAL CHILDREN IN GHANA Please nominate which element of the Project Stages you would like to be part of and you will have the chance to assist the rural people of Yendi, Saboba, Gushiegu, Karaga, Zabzugu-Tatali, and Chereponi to make this college a reality. CONSTRUCTION OF 3 CLASSROOMS WITH 4 OFFICES AS LECTURE ROOMS, INTERIM LIBRARY & ADMINISTRATION This building is CRUCIAL to the commencement of trainee teachers admission and commencement of lectures for the 2012 Academic year. Above all, it is a key requirement to gain Ghana Government partnership for the payment of staff salaries, emoluments and administration cost of the College.
8 *Preliminary works, including Architectural drawings, land mapping and title, clearing of site, etc. $16,000 *Construction of 3 classrooms with 4 offices $73,900 Total cost. $89,900 SPECIALISED RAMTEC FORMWORK This will enable formwork to be set up ready to receive the local soils mixed with cement and water.. $40,000 MECHANICAL COMPACTION EQUIPMENT.. $12,000 The specialised equipment needed to compact the local earth for construction of the walls of the buildings. TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR TWO LOCAL WORKERS This will enable two identified workers from Yendi, Ghana to travel to Perth and be supported for one month whilst they are trained in Rammed Earth technology. Even though this training will be provided FREE of charge by Ramtec Pty Ltd., the cost of airfare, accommodation and upkeep in Perth for the two Workers from Ghana will cost approximately.....$9,500 TRANSPORT OF RAMTEC EQUIPMENT TO GTHANA This will be a significant aspect of the project, as the equipment will have to be loaded on a container (20ft of 38,000lbs) in Fremantle and transported to Tema (Ghana) and from Tema to Yendi which is located in the North West of Ghana. This stage will cost approximately.. $40,000 CONSTRUCTION OF 8 OTHER ESSENTIAL BUILDINGS These are buildings for: Administration, Library, ICT & Science Labs, Staff accommodation, Students Dining hall & kitchen and dormitories. Total Cost $842,769 GRAND TOTAL (1 st Phase Constructions). $ 1,034,169 AUD ST.
