Ghana has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of the Republic of Korea through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to expand and strengthen Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education across the country.
The US$28 million STEM for All (D-STEM) Programme, which will run from 2026 to 2032, is expected to improve access to quality STEM education by supporting schools, teachers and education systems in selected regions, the Minister Education, Haruna Iddrissu has said .
Under the programme, STEM education initiatives will be extended to four regions, 12 districts, 713 schools, 1,426 teachers and 86 education circuits, with the Ashanti and Northern Regions joining the existing areas benefiting from the intervention.
The initiative will focus on enhancing teachers’ digital skills in STEM education, establishing Smart Schools equipped with digital learning tools, constructing the Accra STEM Park and upgrading the Northern STEM Resource Centre.
The programme is aimed at promoting equitable access to modern STEM learning opportunities and building a future-ready education system capable of preparing Ghanaian students for the demands of a technology-driven global economy.
The Ministry expressed appreciation to the Republic of Korea and KOICA for their continued partnership, describing the collaboration as a significant step towards improving science and technology education and empowering the next generation of Ghanaian learners.
