About us - Nurturing the Ghanaian Child with Excellence
A Ghanaian-led organisation dedicated to understanding and supporting the emotional wellbeing of students in primary, junior, and senior high schools.
We pair rigorous, validated assessment with empathetic, student-centred design — giving schools the language to understand what their students are feeling, and the data to act before struggles become crises.
Why We Exist - The Silent Crisis in Ghana's Classrooms
Across Ghana, students navigate anxiety, depression, and social isolation largely unseen. Traditional academic assessments measure what students know — but not how they feel.
Without data on emotional wellbeing, schools cannot intervene early, and students silently disengage.

Our Story - From Research to Action
FOPA Dilligent Consult was born from a simple observation: Ghanaian schools have the infrastructure to teach, but not the tools to listen.
Our founder, Dr. Felix Oppusu Paapa Agyiri, spent years researching curriculum alignment and student support services before recognising that emotional wellbeing was the missing piece.
What began as academic research — surveying students in the Kwahu East District — evolved into SESA: a validated assessment instrument designed specifically for the Ghanaian school context.
“We don’t just assess students. We give schools the language to understand what their students are feeling.”
Dr. Felix Oppusu Paapa Agyiri, FounderHow It Works - Our Approach
SESA is not a one-size-fits-all tool. It's a structured, culturally grounded process designed for the Ghanaian classroom.
-
01 Assess. Students complete a validated questionnaire measuring emotional wellbeing across six dimensions — in under 20 minutes.
-
02 Analyse. Results are scored and contextualised against GES benchmarks, giving schools a clear picture of where students stand.
-
03 Recommend. Schools receive targeted action plans — specific, practical steps to improve emotional support where it's needed most.
-
04 Support. FOPA provides ongoing consultation to help schools implement changes, train staff, and track progress over time.
Our Team - Led by Research, Driven by Care
A Ghanaian-led team of researchers and educators dedicated to pioneering social-emotional intelligence within the Ghanaian educational landscape.
At FOPA Dilligent Consult, we don’t just assess; we advocate. Every metric we track is a promise made to the next generation of Ghanaian leaders.

Every Student Deserves to Be Understood
Ghana's schools are full of students silently struggling. SESA gives your school the tools to see what grades can't show — and act before it's too late.
