Ghana Poised To Enhance Access To Quality Education

The Ministry of Education in Ghana will soon roll out policies and programmes to enhance access to quality education in the country.

The ministry is also poised to transform Ghana’s educational setting into an Information Communication Technology (ICT) world.

Director, General Administration, Ministry of Education, Catherine Appiah-Pinkrah, said this at the 50th anniversary celebration of higher education for the blind by the Ghana Blind Union (GBU) in Accra.

She said as part of their mandate, the ministry is working on a number of policies that will help with the evolutionary level it was at now.

Appiah-Pinkrah noted that the Ministry in collaboration with its partners were working to ensure that every child in the country went to school in an environment that enhanced conducive teaching and learning.

She indicated that there was going to be an initiative which would ensure that every child got screened on his or her first day at school for the detection of any impending health issues.

Furthermore, the Director of General Administration of the Ministry stated that while regions with special needs schools would be improved, other regions with no special needs schools would be provided with such facilities to give equal access and quality education to all and sundry.
