Ghana’s Education Minister is spearheading efforts to address pressing infrastructure gaps in the country’s education sector. At the ongoing National Education Forum in Ho, Volta Region, stakeholders gathered to discuss ways to improve school infrastructure development, particularly in basic, secondary, and tertiary education.
The forum focused on identifying infrastructure gaps in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas, with the aim of finding sustainable solutions. Public-private partnerships, sustainability, and maintenance upkeep of educational facilities were also key topics of discussion.
As part of the minister’s engagement, a visit was made to the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ho. The minister held fruitful discussions with staff and management, tackling important issues affecting the institution.
UHAS, established in 2011, is a pre-eminent health research educational institution dedicated to community service. With a strong focus on healthcare education, the university offers various undergraduate and postgraduate programs in health and allied sciences.
The Education Minister’s efforts to address infrastructure gaps and engage with stakeholders demonstrate a commitment to improving Ghana’s education sector. By fostering collaboration and exploring innovative solutions, the minister aims to create a more conducive learning environment for students across the country.
