Gender Inclusion in Ghana's Education has grown in the past and present through government intervention programs to promote STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education. The gender gap is around 8% for every girl to get access to resources and networks to promote their interest in digital, STEM, and leadership careers. Significant impact usually occurs when civil society organizations collaborate with public and private institutions to accelerate outcomes.
The Empowered to Lead Gender, Inclusion, and Resilient Leadership (G.I.R.L.)Fellows of the program will have to model the peer-to-peer mentoring of the project, which will take place between the big sisters (tertiary participants) and the younger sisters ( high school participants) as their post-program activity.
