The Ghana Education Service will soon operationalise all the 16 new regional Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) hubs being constructed by the government, the Director of the Science Education Unit of the service, Mrs Olivia Serwaa Opare, has said.
The facilities which were more than 70 per cent completed across all the regions when operationalised would serve as centres of excellence for the training of instructors in STEM and also aid in the promotion of science and innovative education in the country.
Speaking to journalists after the opening of a five-day retreat for national STEM coordinators at Adukrom in the Okere Municipality of the Eastern Region on Wednesday, Ms Opare said the construction of the centres formed part of the government's agenda for STEM education in the country.
She said "Very soon you will see one STEM hub each in all our 16 regions.
