Abstract:
Several years into a collaborative professional development programme to build the Leadership for Learning capacity of
Basic school headteachers throughout Ghana, the challenge is to sustain commitment, deepen understanding and share
learning among the school leaders. Employing ubiquitous mobile phone technology, weekly text messages have been sent to
the programme’s 175 initial participants. During the year of the pilot project different forms of messages have been tried, and
feedback from recipients suggests their value. The paper reports experience and findings from the pilot, and considers plans
for scaling-up to reach all 18,000 Basic schools across the country
