Code 57, a non-governmental organisation, has embarked on a mobile school project called the Ahafo mobile school project. It aims at transforming and empowering lives, with a focus on basic and senior high school students.
The Ahafo mobile school project is an educational tool that provides non-formal education to children. It focuses on time management, career guidance, life after school, teenage pregnancy prevention, reproductive health education, talent discovery, the value of education, empowerment, and a change of mindset alongside the normal classroom curriculum.
Code 57 prepares the youth for the future with the idea that education is the key. It improves a person’s ability to view the world and fight against misdoings such as injustice, corruption, and violence, among other things.
It is an annual project where the ministry of social interventions and education is focused on transforming and empowering five million lives by 2050.
The initiative seeks to transform and empower lives through voluntary teaching at schools.
Code 57, through its encounters on the field of work, discovered that students in the Ahafo region do not have an interest in any form of formal education and lack the motivation to go to school, while others were engaged in mining. It then encouraged them to return to school.
The initiative began in the month of October, following a successful educational project in the Volta Region, specifically the Central Tongu.
The mobile school project ideology was birthed in 2020 by the Social Intervention Ministry of Code 57, but its manifestations started in 2022, Individuals at Code57 believe that education, to some extent, refers to the information a person gains and experiences outside of books or classrooms, as well as the knowledge we receive in schools, homes, and society.
Code 57 appeals to the public to support the provision of stationery, teachers, and other educational materials, including educational talks, to promote quality education in Ahafo.
