The Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, Mr Roey Gilad, has called on education technology developers to ensure that their innovations directly improve student learning outcomes.Speaking at the Edtech meeting in Accra on the theme "Smart Learning, Bright Futures: Ghana-Israel Edtech Innovation", Mr Gilad stressed that while technology plays a crucial role in modern education, it must serve the core purpose of enhancing teaching and learning."Technology is a tool, not the objective.
The focus should always be on the student and the quality of content delivered," he said. "We often concentrate on the tools, but at the end of the day, what matters most is the learner."The event was organised by the Israel Economic and Trade Mission to Ghana in collaboration with the Centre for Education Technology (CET) and the Ghana Society for Education Technology (GSET).
It brought together educators, innovators, and policymakers to explore opportunities for collaboration between Ghana and Israel in the education technology space.Mr Gilad noted that Israel was ready to share its advanced education technologies with Ghana through sustained dialogue and partnerships, but added that success would depend on a shared commitment."We are ready to engage, but it will depend on the willingness of Ghanaians and other stakeholders in the field to join this dialogue," he said.He also praised the high level of discipline among Ghanaian students, contrasting it with what he described as a lack of discipline in Israeli schools."I'm impressed by the discipline in your schools.
Israeli students are often more vocal.
