I started this year intending to be on a sabbatical until July 2020. Since the COVID-19 emergency started, I have watched with gratitude as @Ashesi’s leaders and community rallied to ensure safety on campus; extraordinary effort at this extraordinary time. Thank you, #TeamAshesi.

The @GEMReport states globally millions more school teachers are needed. With growing student numbers, this translates to higher education too. Our pilot study in Ghana found a gap in the supply of teachers & professors at colleges and Universities: essa-africa.org/resources
