Abstract:
Basic education is supposed to lay the foundation for further education and training; to
this end, it is necessary that it is of a high quality to achieve its purposes of preparing the
young ones for further learning in the future and to equip them with relevant knowledge
and skills to enable them function effectively in society. The study examined the impact
of World Vision in the provision of basic education in the Talensi District in the upper
East Region. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. A total of 35
respondents, comprising 27 head teachers, 6 circuit supervisors, the district director of
education and a staff of World Vision, selected through purposive sampling, were used in
the study. Closed and open-ended questionnaires were used for the data collection. The
data was analysed using frequencies and simple percentage distributions. It was found out
that world vision contributes to the provision of borehole and sanitation equipment,
conducting in-service training for teachers as well providing teaching and learning
materials. The presence of world vision has led to improvement in performance and
enrolment compared to previous figures before the intervention. From the study it was
recommended to WVG to collaborate with other development partners and GES to
extend in-service training for teachers to cover more subject areas. It was also
recommended that District Assemblies who have a duty to assist in providing basic
education should be proactive.
