What happened in 2007? After weeks of learning about the Right to Education, children presented what they had learnt and researched at an event attended by the President of Education International Africa Region, and General Secretary of Ghana's Teachers Union, Irene Adanusa. Irene spoke about the state of education in Ghana and watched as the students unravelled a long paper chain of messages demanding education. After Action Week campaigners collected up their paper chains and sent them to the Prime Minister reminding him of his promises before the G8. The chains were also sent to members of parliament.  2008 Report Card PDF
