Learn Africa Partners with Greenacy to Expand Climate Curriculum

ACCRA, Ghana - March 26, 2025 - PRLog -- Learn Africa, one of Africa's foremost educators, has partnered with climate action nonprofit Greenacy to roll out an expanded climate curriculum across the region. The collaboration aims to embed climate education into mainstream learning, starting with primary and secondary schools in Ghana and Nigeria.

So far, the curriculum has been implemented in five regions of Ghana, where it is already influencing classroom instruction and student activities. Designed to match national education standards, the curriculum covers key topics such as environmental stewardship, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, waste reduction, and climate justice.

"Education is the strongest foundation we can offer young people in the face of climate change," said Dr. Aminu Mohammed, Head of Strategy at Learn Africa.

"This partnership gives us a chance to build not just awareness, but real skills that students can use to create change in their communities."

In Nigeria, Greenacy and Learn Africa are currently in discussions with the Federal Ministry of Education about integrating the curriculum into the national system. Early feedback from education officials has been encouraging, with a strong interest in aligning the program with civic and science learning objectives.

Greenacy brings on-the-ground experience and a proven approach to climate education. In Ghana, the organization has trained teachers, supported schools in launching green clubs, and helped communities build practical environmental initiatives around student learning. Early results show increased student engagement, school-led clean-up efforts, and growing interest in sustainability topics among young learners.

"Climate education has to be local, relevant, and actionable," said Sarah Ameh, Greenacy's Regional Program Lead for West Africa. "We're not just teaching theory. We're building a mindset that sees climate action as part of everyday life."

The curriculum is supported by interactive materials, teacher training modules, and activities that connect classroom learning to local environmental challenges. This model is gaining attention from international donors and development agencies as a scalable way to integrate sustainability into public education systems across the Global South.

As the partnership moves forward, both organizations are focused on impact tracking, capacity building for educators, and government engagement to ensure the curriculum becomes a lasting part of school programs. "This isn't just a textbook addition," said Obeng. "It's a shift in how we prepare young Africans to think critically, act responsibly, and lead with climate in mind."
