Ghana’s education sector is taking proactive steps to prepare students for the future as the world rapidly advances in technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced plans to provide technology equipment to pre-tertiary institutions beginning from the next academic year.
This initiative forms part of efforts to strengthen Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education while integrating AI into classroom learning.
The government’s commitment is expected to enhance digital literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and innovation among pupils.
Mr Iddrisu also emphasised the need to revolutionise the sector.
“We support helping Ghanaian students prepare for a competitive world. We agree that the future is about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. We will revolutionise STEM education in the coming years,” the minister said.
“We are currently engaged in discussions with the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, the Ghana Education Trust Fund, and the Ministry of Education to deploy STEM kits to upper primary—specifically classes four and six—beginning next academic year, subject to lawful procurement processes and the Ghana Education Service’s approval of the devices,” he added.
The collaboration with organisations like Coderina is expected to complement government efforts by making technology and innovation more accessible to young learners, laying a strong foundation for Ghana’s future workforce.
