Ghana has reaffirmed its readiness to collaborate with global stakeholders and development partners to strengthen foundational learning and drive better educational standards across the country.
Deputy Minister for Education, Dr Clement Abas Apaak, made the call while speaking at an education-focused side event during the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81).
Addressing international delegates and civil society groups, Dr Apaak expressed appreciation to existing partners supporting the country’s social sector, whilst urging more organisations to bring innovative approaches, technical expertise, and needed capital into the Ghanaian school system.
He highlighted that sustained investment in early-grade instruction remains crucial to long-term national development, stressing that the government cannot do it alone.
“We still need your partnership,” the Deputy Minister noted, emphasizing that securing quality education at the foundational stage offers every child a solid launchpad for lifelong academic and career success, while significantly trimming down remedial costs down the road.
As part of measures to revamp early learning outcomes, the government has integrated play-based learning models into the newly revised basic school curriculum, aiming to cultivate creative thinking and practical engagement among young learners right from their earliest school years.
