The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced plans to open Ghana’s public tertiary institutions to high school graduates from Burkina Faso, with capped fees applicable.
This development forms part of efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation in education between the two countries.
The Minister disclosed this in a statement on Facebook by the Ministry of Education, following a courtesy call from Burkina Faso’s Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. David Kabré. The Ambassador’s visit aimed to explore practical ways of enhancing education ties between Ghana and Burkina Faso.
Discussions focused on addressing language gaps through targeted teacher support, with Burkina Faso proposing the training and deployment of teachers to boost English language instruction.
In response, Haruna Iddrisu assured that Ghana remains committed to supporting this initiative and announced plans for a Labour Exchange Programme.
The programme would involve Ghanaian teachers being sent to Burkina Faso to teach English, while Burkinabè teachers would be deployed to Ghana to teach French.
These proposed measures aim to enhance cross-border academic mobility, strengthen bilingual education, and reinforce regional integration between Ghana and Burkina Faso.
