This pledge came after a meeting with the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) leadership in Accra on February 24. The discussion focused on enhancing education quality, improving access, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders.
During his vetting, Minister Iddrisu emphasized the Mahama administration’s priorities for tertiary education: access, quality, and relevance. To achieve this, the government plans to expand infrastructure, ensuring more students can access quality education.
Ghana’s education system has made significant strides, with initiatives like the Free Senior High School (SHS) program, launched in 2017, benefiting over 1.2 million students. However, challenges persist, including disparities in rural areas, inadequate resources, and the need for improved teacher training.
The Ministry of Education has outlined strategic plans to address these challenges, including the Education Strategic Plan (2018-2030), which aims to enhance teaching and learning standards, improve infrastructure, and promote inclusive education.
With the government’s renewed commitment to education, Ghanaian students can expect improved learning outcomes, better access to quality education, and enhanced preparation for future opportunities.
