This SMC Training Manual seeks to provide basic guide for the training of School Management Committees. It seeks to help facilitators and SMCs understand what is already in the SMC Resource Manual.

This is as a result of the greater recognition that the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service and its development partners give to the issue of child labor and education.
