What we do in Ghana

Through our knowledge and learning approach we have integrated exams, learning, information, events and professional development to offer you a service that provides UK expertise, whatever your needs.

We also have an ongoing commitment to creating education opportunities for aspiring young professionals.

We administer exams and work with examination boards, educational institutions and professional bodies to market and provide access to UK education products. Through our partnership with the Department for International Development, we manage a programme of Higher Education Links and Technical Co-operation Training; we also work with women journalists and fund UK Teachers International Professional Development as part of our schools linking work.

Our partnerships in government and civil society help us to increase awareness and appreciation of the UK's democratic values and processes among young people, professionals and leaders. This work involves initiatives and projects on human rights, access to justice, freedom of information, civic education and leadership development.
