<p>Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has been implementing various projects in educational assistance for developing countries, especially in the areas of mathematics and science. Teachers' training is one of the main projects. How much has teachers' training been contributing to the improvement of children's learning achievements? This paper used the example of a teachers' training project in Ghana (JICA 2000-2005) and measured the impact of teachers' training on children's learning achievements in the areas of mathematics and science. The impact was measured at three levels: (1) how much the training content was useful; (2) how much the trained teachers improved their professional skills and their motivation towards teaching; and (3) how much children's learning achievement improved.</p><p>This research found that teachers evaluated the training useful. In addition, both professional skills and motivations of trained teachers improved. Children's learning achievements also improved among primary school pupils, but not among junior secondary students. Even among the primary school pupils, the relation to their learning achievements was not as strong as other factors like “School”. Furthermore, it revealed teachers' strong interests in taking study leave for their further academic qualifications, and the tendency was higher among teachers in junior secondary schools and among those with higher teaching qualifications. Twenty four percent of trained teachers in primary schools left their jobs and 36% did in secondary schools between February 2001 and October 2002. Could it imply that teachers' leave may explain the difference in children's learning achievements between primary and secondary schools? This research concluded that despite the contribution of the teachers' training to the children's learning achievements, it was not efficient enough due to the loss of trained teachers in the system. In the project, school based training was added as project activities to share and pool the gains from the training.</p>
