The newly sworn-in Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced that a National Education Conference will be held in the coming weeks.
He said the stakeholders' forum on education will help determine the current state of education in the country in order to strategise on the way forward. "This conference will serve as a platform to critically analyze our current education system and propose solutions to address the gaps," he stated. "Our aim is to ensure that education in Ghana is reformed to guarantee quality and relevance at all levels," Mr Iddrisu added.
He made the announcement during his maiden official visit to the Ministry on January 22, 2025, immediately after he was sworn in by President Mahama.
The Education Minister also reiterated his commitment to supporting President John Dramani Mahama's vision of making education accessible, relevant, and of high quality. "Education must be accessible to every Ghanaian, but it must also be relevant and of a standard that prepares our citizens for the challenges of the modern world," he noted.
