Deaf Education Teacher in Ghana

We are looking for U.S. citizens who want to be a part of something bigger and are willing to go the distance to make a difference. Is that you?

In more than 60 countries, Peace Corps Volunteers are putting their purpose, passion, and skills to work in partnership with welcoming host communities – growing, teaching, learning, and making change together.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you'll live and work alongside community members on locally prioritized projects, receiving a stipend and other support as you immerse yourself in a new culture. You’ll build relationships, exchange knowledge, and help transform lives for generations.

About the project

Ghana’s schools for the Deaf seek your support to strengthen student learning.

Ghana’s Ministry of Education is focusing on promoting inclusive education where all learners regardless of their circumstances have the opportunity to achieve. The major challenge to achieving this is lack of trained special education teachers. Very few teachers sign up to teach in schools for the Deaf; and many of the teachers who do work at the schools for the Deaf are not proficient in sign language, making it difficult for the children to comprehend the complex concept taught in science and math.

As a Deaf Education Teacher, you will collaborate with school staff to develop teachers’ vocational and technical skills. Together, you also will boost student achievement in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and literacy.
