Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu on Thursday, hosted a strategic meeting in Accra with key stakeholders to further the development of Ghana’s Country Action Plan (CAP). A primary objective of this comprehensive plan is to significantly strengthen teacher capacity across the nation, addressing a critical need in the educational sector.
The engagement brought together prominent bodies including the European Union–Regional Teachers’ Initiative for Africa (EU-RTIA) Facility Team, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), and the National Teaching Council (NTC).
Discussions at the meeting were specifically focused on two vital areas: the integration of a Green Skills Competency Framework and the provision of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for teachers. The EU-RTIA Facility is expected to play a crucial role by providing technical assistance for the formulation and subsequent implementation of these significant policy frameworks.
Iddrisu welcomed the collaborative spirit demonstrated by all parties, underscoring the vital importance of sustained partnerships in the continuous effort to improve the quality of education delivery throughout Ghana. He emphasized that such collaborations are fundamental to achieving the Ministry’s broader educational goals.
Furthermore, the Minister highlighted the Ministry’s keen interest in the establishment of a national digital learning platform. This initiative is designed to ensure inclusive and equitable access to learning resources for all Ghanaian students, an essential step towards modernizing and democratizing education in the country.
