The Ghana Science Association (GSA) has appealed to the government to strengthen Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education at the basic school level with increased investment to establish a stronger foundation for higher education and development.
The Association acknowledged significant efforts by successive governments to promote STEM education but observed that the approach had been lopsided, leaving basic schools to struggle.
Dr.
Benjamin Aboagye, the President of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Branch of the Association, said the basic school level had been largely neglected, with most schools lacking basic resources, which help to make STEM education more practical, easier, and fun.
