Mahama approves Integrated Basic Education Model, with funding expected in 2027 under GETFund formula

“What we are seeking to do is to have a new basic education model where the child starts kindergarten, moves to primary 1 to primary 6, and moves to junior high school within the same school environment, with a changing room as part of it, an ICT laboratory and a STEM room as part of it, in one dedicated infrastructure,” he said.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu says President John Dramani Mahama has approved plans to introduce an Integrated Basic Education Model that will bring kindergarten, primary and junior high school education together within a single school environment.

Under the proposed model, pupils would progress from kindergarten to Primary One through to Primary Six before continuing to junior high school within the same school environment.
