Assignment 12: Numeracy

Attention was brought to several areas in Ghana, Africa where children were struggling with comprehension of both reading and numeracy. A survey was issued, and the results were shocking. Between 60 areas in "Kpandai, Sagnarigu and Sawla/Tuna/Kalba Districts", it found that “94 out of every 100 children assessed in class three could not read a class two level story and correctly solve class two level numeracy questions up to division.” The ages  of these children were grouped between ages 3 to 15 and 6 to 15 totaling 3,429 children of Northern Ghana.
