Our Alignment with Global and National Education Policy Frameworks

At Spring-UP Global Network, we are committed to advancing inclusive, equitable, and quality education through our flagship programmes. Our work aligns with the following key policy frameworks:

  • United Nations SDG4: Quality Education for All

    Target 4.1
    “By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable, and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.”

    Target 4.6
    “By 2030, ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy.”

    Target 4.A
    “Build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all.”

  • Africa Union Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want

    Goal: A well-educated and empowered citizenry underpinned by science, technology, and innovation.
    Focus: Inclusive education, youth empowerment, gender equality, and lifelong learning.

  • Ghana’s Education Strategic Plan (ESP 2018–2030)

    Priority 1: Improve equitable access to inclusive education.
    Priority 2: Improve the quality of teaching and learning, especially in STEM.
    Priority 3: Strengthen education management and accountability.

WHY WE EXIST: THE LITERACY GAP WE’RE CLOSING

Libraries & Reading

A 2023 report by the Ghana Library Authority revealed that less than 30% of public basic schools have functioning libraries. In rural Ghana, only 1 in 10 schools has access to a stocked library, limiting exposure to books and reading culture.

Career Awareness and Mentorship

Mentorship programmes have been shown to increase school attendance by up to 55% and significantly improve academic performance, especially among disadvantaged children. In Ghana, NGOs and community-based organisations are filling this gap, but coverage remains limited in underserved regions.

Leadership Development in Schools

A 2025 global study found that only 27% of organisations include youth-focused leadership training in their programmes. In Ghana, leadership training is rarely integrated into the formal curriculum, leaving a gap in nurturing confident, ethical, and visionary young leaders.

Chentille Ruth Attiogbe Ghana

By mentoring children through SUGN programmes, I have been able to impact a greater number of students and help change their mindsets about education, career prospects and know there is no limit. In this regards, SUGN has helped me develop my team and project management skill along with people skills. The volunteering experience has also taught me to be resilient.
