Wesley College of Education (WESCO), has awarded Bachelor of Education degrees to 450 graduating students at its 16th Congregation Ceremony.
The event also served as a platform to unveil a forward-thinking initiative to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into teacher education programs across Ghana.
Speaking on the theme "Transforming Teacher Education with AI: Advancing the WESCO Agenda for Excellence," Associate Prof Kofi Sarpong Adu-Manu of the University of Ghana's Department of Computer Science challenged Ghana's teacher education system to redefine the future, not preserve the past, envisioning educators as learning architects, AI‑enhanced mentors, and digital ethicists. "AI will not change Ghana; you will," Prof Adu-Manu told the graduating class, urging them to use their knowledge, vision, and ethical considerations wisely.
Prof Adu-Manu emphasized that AI should be used to amplify the capabilities of teachers, not to replace them.
