Ambassador Bar-Li interacting with some school children in Tamale
Israeli Ambassador to Ghana Sharon Bar-li has paid a working visit to Tamale to inspect ongoing educational projects being undertaken by MASHAV, Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation.
She met with the Metropolitan Chief Executive of Tamale, Hanan Abdul-Rahman Gundadow and visited four kindergarten schools participating in the Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme under MASHAV.
The ECD programme is a collaborative effort between Israel’s Development Agency, the Ghana Education Service and the metropolitan assemblies of Tamale, Accra and Kumasi.
Thirty kindergarten teachers and head teachers have so far been trained under the programme, which has been held in Accra, Kumasi and Tamale.
The Israeli Ambassador visited the Queen Elizabeth, Lamashegu, Saint Peter’s and Danin-Sheli kindergarten schools, which are the model schools under the project in the Northern Region.
She watched lessons being taught according to the training and interacted with the head teachers and some of the children.
During Ms Bar-li’s meeting with the Tamale MCE and his Assembly members, Mr Gundadow expressed appreciation to MASHAV and the State of Israel for their ongoing contribution to the development of Tamale, pledged continuous support and commitment to the ECD programme in Tamale and called for Israeli businessmen to come and invest in Tamale.
Ms Bar-li also met with GES Director of Education in Tamale, Alhaji Mohammed Abdul-Rahman Saani and the two discussed how to deepen and further the collaboration between MASHAV and the Tamale office of the GES for the success of the programme.
She expressed confidence the recently signed Memorandum of Cooperation between MASHAV and the GES will establish a stronger framework for the future of the programme in Ghana.
