Education Reform in Ghana is Highlighted in New Scientology Network Episode

A new episode of Voices for Humanity on the Scientology Network features Ghanaian educator Richmond Atta-Williams and his national campaign to improve literacy and reduce dropout rates by introducing innovative learning methods. With over half of Ghana’s secondary students not completing Senior High School, Atta-Williams’ work is gaining international attention. The European Union, a major development partner in Ghana’s education sector, supports initiatives aligned with these goals, reflecting shared priorities in global education reform. Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the EU and UN, highlights the significance of grassroots educational innovation in fostering sustainable development.

A new episode of the documentary series Voices for Humanity, airing on the Scientology Network and on demand, is putting the spotlight on Ghana’s education sector—drawing attention not only in West Africa, but also among institutions involved in EU development cooperation and educational reform.

The episode, which premiered on July 9 and is now available on demand, features Richmond Atta-Williams, an education official working to tackle Ghana’s literacy challenges through the implementation of Study Technology—a methodology focused on comprehension, practical application, and individualized learning, organized under the non profit international organization Applied Scholastics.

Ghana faces a significant challenge in upper secondary education: over half of the country’s students do not complete Senior High School, according to 2023 figures published by the Institute for Security Studies Africa.

As National Project Officer for Education Technology Initiatives Ghana, Atta-Williams is leading a nationwide campaign to reverse this trend, training teachers and working directly with schools to introduce tools that enhance understanding and improve student outcomes.

Educational Innovation with Global Relevance

While the campaign is focused on Ghana, its core issues—literacy, inclusive learning, and education equity—are shared priorities within the European Union’s international cooperation framework, particularly through the EU–Africa Global Gateway strategy and Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).

“Education is a powerful lever for development and stability,” said Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European institutions and the United Nations. “We are pleased that this episode brings global attention to a successful, grassroots-led initiative that is helping thousands of young people in Ghana. Europe has consistently supported education through its external action policies, in fact it is often European members of the Church of Scientology that go to African countries and present them a way in which they can finally become independent, and Richmond’s work complements these efforts by offering practical, scalable solutions to everyonein his country.”

The EU is one of Ghana’s largest development partners in the education sector, supporting programs that enhance access to schooling, teacher training, and curriculum reform. Under the EU–Ghana Pact for Skills and TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) initiatives, the EU has committed millions of euros to improving education outcomes across Ghana—benefiting over 40,000 young people to date according to the European Commission.

Bridging Local Impact with International Dialogue

Study Technology, the method at the centre of Atta-Williams’ campaign, was developed by L. Ron Hubbard, and has been implemented in various educational contexts globally. In Ghana, it is being used to support national objectives to increase literacy, improve comprehension, and create a more student-centered approach to education.

European stakeholders involved in education policy, migration integration, and international development may find the project relevant—not as a blueprint, but as an example of how local innovation can address universal challenges. The Ghanaian case also highlights the importance of cultural context in the design and deployment of education tools.

Voices for Humanity, a weekly documentary series that profiles individuals working to uplift communities through human rights, education, and humanitarian action, continues to spotlight local efforts with global resonance.
