Per his swearing-in on Wednesday, January 22 by President John Dramani Mahama, Haruna Iddrisu became the 16th Minister for Education in Ghana's 4th Republic.
Notably, EDUWATCH observed that he is the first Education Minister hailing from northern Ghana, where educational disparities are particularly significant.
