Education outcomes remain uneven across Ghana, with disparities in classroom resources, digital access, and teacher availability affecting rural and low-income communities. This has raised concerns about future competitiveness as technology reshapes global labour markets.
In his New Year address, President Mahama said the government is committed to improving access to digital learning tools and strengthening education standards nationwide.
He linked the country’s long-term transformation to investments that ensure young people are prepared for modern careers.
“Every child deserves a world-class education. We will continue digitalising our schools and ensure every classroom has the tools for 21st-century learning.”
Ghana has expanded secondary school access through the Free SHS policy, but infrastructure gaps, classroom overcrowding, and learning outcomes remain challenges.
Stakeholders say improved teacher training, facilities, and technology access will be essential to move toward “world-class” standards.
President Mahama said digital tools and better resources will help build a skilled generation capable of driving national development and innovation.
