Ghana’s Education Sector Analysis (ESA) 2018 provides an objective assessment of the state of education in the country. It has been produced to inform the finalization of the Education Sector Plan (ESP) 2018–2030 and to ensure a broad evidence base for future policymaking.

This ESA is also based on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)/International Institution for Educational Planning (IIEP) guidelines for sector analysis and highlights both the strengths and the weaknesses of the current education system to inform and direct necessary changes. The analysis is based on a wide range of data sources, including specifically commissioned reports, and draws on a lot of previous work and research pertinent to education in Ghana.
