The Coalition of Organisations in STEM (COS) has urged the Ministry of Education to prioritize collaboration with local STEM stakeholders to drive innovative educational reforms in Ghana.
In a statement, COS acknowledged the government's ongoing efforts to advance Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEM/STEAM) education but emphasized the need to leverage local expertise to unlock the full potential of Ghana's educational system. "Education devoid of innovation can become a liability rather than an asset to our economy," the coalition stated, highlighting the importance of integrating homegrown solutions to develop a sustainable, innovation-driven learning environment.
COS reaffirmed its commitment to the Minister of Education's vision of ensuring that no Ghanaian child-regardless of gender, financial background, or location-is left behind in STEM education.
The coalition noted that its members have positively impacted thousands of students through innovative STEM programs and strategic partnerships.
