The Minister for Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has said that despite the economic challenges faced by the country, the Akufo-Addo-led administration is committed to rolling out several programmes to propel education across the country.
Speaking at the launch of the Ghana Smart Schools Project, Dr Adutwum indicated that the government will ensure no child is left behind.
He said “[Someone] looked at me and said so you are doing all these amid economic challenges, and I said that is what a visionary president does. To ensure that we build a robust education for the economy, this economy will stand the test of time. This is the foundation.”
The Ghana Smart School project is part of the government’s efforts to enhance e-learning and digitization among students in second-cycle institutions.
The initiative aims to bolster senior high school education by providing teaching and learning management systems, digital learning content, and electronic devices to all senior high and TVET schools nationwide.
Aligned with the Ministry of Education’s digitalization agenda for pre-tertiary education, the project underscores the government’s commitment to leveraging technological advancements to equip Ghanaian students for the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution.
