Abstract:

The study investigated the extent to which non-profit organizations (NGOs) contribute to the improvement of the quality of basic education in the Northern Region of Ghana. Specifically, the study examined the roles NGOs play in the provision of basic quality education in Ghana; examined the challenges NGOs face in the provision of basic quality education in Ghana; and determined whether there is a significant relationship between NGOs operations and the quality of Primary Education Service delivery in the Northern region of Ghana. A descriptive research design was adopted, utilizing a mixed research approach to gather both qualitative and quantitative data from primary and secondary sources. The collected data was analyzed through SPSS using inferential statistics, specifically correlation. The findings of the study revealed that NGOs collaborate with local governments and other organizations in their efforts to promote education in various communities and villages. However, NGOs are confronted with several challenges that impede their ability to provide quality education in Ghana, including limited financial resources, poor communication, and ineffective parental involvement in school affairs. Despite these challenges, the study demonstrated a significant and positive correlation between NGOs' operations and the quality of primary education service delivery in the Northern region of Ghana.
