School children train drivers through Kids Road Safety Panel

March 16, 2022

Roles were reversed as school children from the Thomas Clegg Cluster of Schools in Kaneshie and Community 8, No 3 & 4 Primary Schools in Tema led road safety training sessions for commercial drivers in Accra and Tema, as part of the Kids Road Safety Panel (KRSP) programme.

The road safety education programme, run by AMEND Ghana, focused on road safety, was executed in collaboration with the National Road Safety Authority and the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC).

The School Area Road Safety Assessment and Improvement programme which won a Prince Michael International Road Safety Award in 2018 is a fine example of the effective research-based approach taken by AMEND. This programme involves local communities to improve pedestrian infrastructure and to inculcate a safety culture in the policies of local authorities.
