Accra, Ghana – April 30, 2025
Kurasa Africa, in collaboration with ESDEV Foundation Africa and the Ghana Education Service (GES), successfully launched the Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Platform (TLAP) in Ghana at a landmark event held at the Alisa Hotel in Accra. This launch marks a significant advancement in digital education in Ghana, aligning with national goals to strengthen accountability, enhance teacher efficiency, and improve learning outcomes through technology.
What is Kurasa TLAP?
Kurasa TLAP is a teacher-centered digital platform designed to streamline lesson planning, formative assessment, attendance tracking, and parent-school communication — all while aligning closely with Ghana’s Standards-Based Curriculum (SBC) and Common Core Programme (CCP). Built in Africa, for Africa, TLAP ensures that educators and school leaders are empowered with the real-time data they need to make informed instructional decisions.
The platform supports:
- Digital lesson planning aligned to national standards
- Real-time formative assessment tools
- Automated attendance and reporting
- Dashboards for school heads and district officers
- Parent notifications to strengthen home-school collaboration
Pilot Impact: Real Results from Four Regions
Between 2024 and early 2025, the TLAP platform was piloted in 14 public and private basic schools across Greater Accra, Central, Volta, and Oti regions. Results were remarkable:
- 1,121 learners impacted
- 143 educators and school heads trained
- 14,000+ attendance entries recorded digitally
- 2,114 formative assessments conducted
- 591 curriculum-aligned lesson plans created
Teachers reported improved workflow, increased engagement, and stronger confidence in delivering assessments. These outcomes demonstrate that digital education in Ghana is not only possible — it is working.
