The programme allows approximately 80 elementary students to learn together based on a curriculum developed by teachers in Hershey and Ghana.
‘The Hershey Learn to Grow: Ghana Distance Learning Programme’ is a programme developed in collaboration with the Milton Hershey School, the MS Hershey Foundation and Hershey Story Museum, Cisco, and African partners that include the Assin Fosu school, Ghana Education Service, Ghana Cocoa Board and Source Trust.
Joel Crowley, fourth grade teacher at Milton Hershey School, said: “We are thrilled by how well our students have responded to this new way of learning about Ghana and seeing links between cocoa growing and chocolate making.
“Everyone in Hershey has been inspired by the passion the children and teachers in Ghana have for learning together through this powerful technology.”
