PRESEC Claims Historic 9th NSMQ Title as Minister Ablakwa Expands Student Support Initiatives

Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon, has further cemented its legacy as Ghana’s premier science and mathematics institution by clinching a record-extending ninth National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) title. In a highly competitive finale held in Accra, PRESEC emerged victorious with 40 points, outpacing Accra Academy and St. Augustine’s College, who finished with 33 and 27 points respectively. The victory marks PRESEC’s 13th appearance in the finals and underscores the school's dominance in the competition. The event, which highlights the growing importance of STEM education in Ghana, aligns with national educational goals under the administration of President John Dramani Mahama to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills among the youth. Following the triumph, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, hosted the champions at the Ministry to celebrate their perseverance and integrity—qualities he described as the "Odade3 tradition." To reward their academic excellence, the Minister presented MacBooks to the contestants and laptops to their teaching staff, alongside cash prizes and a holiday treat. Furthermore, Mr. Ablakwa announced that a dedicated NSMQ bus would be delivered to the school by December. This gesture is part of a broader effort to recognize intellectual curiosity and inspire other students across the country to strive for similar heights in academic competitions. Beyond celebrating national champions, Minister Ablakwa has also intensified grassroots educational support within his North Tongu constituency. Under his annual support initiative, he provided essential school supplies to 2,269 newly admitted Senior High School (SHS) students to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder their transition to secondary education. The comprehensive assistance package included mattresses, chop boxes, and exercise books for all beneficiaries, with female students receiving additional hygiene products and sanitary pads. The program has seen significant growth each year, reflecting a commitment to ensuring that no student is left behind due to economic limitations. A key highlight of this year's constituency support was the donation of bicycles to 100 newly enrolled day students in North Tongu. This specific intervention is designed to ease the transportation challenges faced by students commuting from distant communities, allowing them to focus more effectively on their studies. By providing both the tools for basic educational access and rewards for high-level academic achievement, these initiatives aim to create an inclusive and aspirational educational environment. As these students begin their academic journeys, the combined efforts of government officials and educators continue to build a robust foundation for Ghana’s future leaders.

Adentan and Bono East Regions Receive New Educational Infrastructure to Improve Learning Outcomes

The Adentan Municipal Assembly and regional authorities in Bono East have commissioned several significant educational infrastructure projects designed to enhance teaching environments and reduce student absenteeism. In the Greater Accra Region, the Adentan Municipal Assembly inaugurated two 18-unit classroom blocks for the Adentan Community School and Otano Presbyterian Basic School, alongside a 2-unit Kindergarten block for the Ashieye Model School. Funded through the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF), these projects also included the handover of a new maternity block for the Amrahia Community Health Centre. Municipal Chief Executive Ella Esinam Christine Nongo emphasized that while new infrastructure is vital, it must be complemented by quality teaching and adequate resources to ensure academic success. \n\nIn the Bono East Region, Regional Minister Francis Owusu Antwi highlighted the completion of legacy projects at Sikaa Presby Basic School and Kronkompe D/A Basic School in the Nkoranza North District. The new facilities address long-standing infrastructural deficiencies; specifically, Sikaa Presby received a three-unit classroom block to replace structures previously destroyed by severe rainstorms, while a six-unit block was completed for Kronkompe D/A. Minister Antwi commended the local District Chief Executive for the efficient use of the DACF, noting that these improvements are essential for providing a safe and conducive environment that boosts student morale and attendance. \n\nComplementing these government-led initiatives, the private sector has also contributed to educational development through corporate social responsibility. Employees from GCB Bank PLC’s People and Culture Department recently refurbished the nursery block at Oblogo M/A Basic School as part of the bank’s 2026 Staff Community Impact Programme. The refurbishment included repairing floors, repainting, and providing new furniture. Across all project sites, school heads including Benjamin Wecha of Sikaa and Judith Afusaa-Kwarteng of Kronkompe expressed gratitude for the upgrades. Regional authorities have urged school management committees and the beneficiary communities to prioritize the maintenance of these new assets to ensure their longevity and continued impact on Ghanaian education.

OECD PISA 2025 Report: Asian Students Lead Global Rankings as US Literacy Hits 25-Year Low

A newly released global assessment has revealed a widening educational divide, with high-school students in Asia significantly outperforming their Western counterparts in reading, science, and mathematics. According to the OECD’s 2025 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), students from Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Chinese jurisdictions such as Beijing and Shanghai continue to dominate the rankings. Conversely, the report highlights a concerning decline in the United States, where reading scores for 15-year-olds have plummeted to near 25-year lows, raising urgent alarms for educators and policymakers regarding the future of Western educational standards. The 2025 PISA findings underscore a global trend of deteriorating performance in foundational subjects, exacerbated by the rise of digital distractions in the classroom. Researchers noted a surge in 'hasty readers' and a decline in critical thinking skills, which are becoming increasingly vital in an era dominated by information overload. The report specifically points to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing that while technology offers new tools, it may also be hindering the development of deep cognitive focus. Consequently, educational systems are under immense pressure to balance technological integration with traditional learning methods to ensure students remain competitive. Beyond academic scores, the educational gap carries profound geopolitical and economic implications, particularly amidst the intensifying technological rivalry between the U.S. and China. The OECD suggests that a nation’s foundational educational performance is a direct predictor of its future workforce viability and economic prosperity. For instance, the report estimates a significant potential economic boost for the U.S. economy if its 15-year-olds could achieve even basic proficiency. As global competition for talent accelerates, the ability to synthesize complex information and apply critical logic is being viewed as the primary currency of the modern global economy. These global shifts are prompting calls for urgent educational reform in emerging economies, including Ghana. As the country navigates its own development path under the current administration, the need to align national curricula with global competencies has become a priority to ensure human capital remains relevant in an AI-driven market. The report serves as a wake-up call for nations worldwide to modernize their educational frameworks, move beyond digital distractions, and prioritize the foundational cognitive skills necessary to navigate an increasingly complex and automated world.

Project Management Institute Refreshes PMP® Certification to Align with AI-Driven Workplace Demands

The Project Management Institute (PMI) has officially rolled out a refreshed Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification exam as of July 2026. This update is a direct response to the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the shifting requirements of the modern workplace. By moving beyond traditional technical skills, the new certification aims to equip professionals with the strategic and leadership capabilities necessary to navigate complex, technology-integrated project environments. This refresh ensures that project managers remain competitive and capable of delivering value in a rapidly changing global economy. George Asamani, PMI’s Managing Director for Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasized that organizations no longer view project managers as mere administrators. Instead, there is a growing expectation for these professionals to serve as strategic business partners who understand and contribute to overarching organizational goals. The revised exam reflects this evolution by prioritizing business alignment, strategic decision-making, and stakeholder engagement. It focuses on the practical application of project management principles, ensuring candidates can demonstrate their ability to tackle real-world challenges rather than just reciting theoretical knowledge. The urgency for this refresh is underscored by research suggesting that approximately 50% of current technical skills could become obsolete within the next five years due to rapid technological advancements. In an AI-driven landscape, project professionals must be capable of harnessing automated tools to enhance project outcomes while focusing their human expertise on high-level strategy and leadership. The new exam format is designed to test these competencies, ensuring that PMP holders are prepared to act as partners in achieving successful project outcomes while managing the complexities introduced by AI. Looking ahead, the demand for skilled project professionals is set to surge, with PMI research projecting a global need for 30 million additional personnel by 2035. This demand is particularly critical for Africa, where a burgeoning workforce is essential for driving sustained economic growth and infrastructure development. While the exam has been updated to reflect these future needs, PMI clarified that existing PMP certifications remain valid and globally recognized. This refresh serves as a proactive step toward building a workforce capable of delivering impactful results in an increasingly complex and automated world.

President Mahama Credits Strict Invigilation for 'True' 2026 Exam Results as Government Rebuffs 'Education Crisis' Claims

President John Dramani Mahama has declared that the results of the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) provide the most accurate reflection of Ghanaian students' academic capabilities in years. Speaking during his "Resetting Ghana Tour" on September 12 at the University of Business and Integrated Development Studies, the President asserted that enhanced invigilation measures have successfully curtailed longstanding examination malpractices. He noted that for years, some school officials and headteachers had allegedly colluded to help students cheat, leading to inflated grades that did not match students' actual preparedness or potential. While the President expressed satisfaction with the "true results" now being observed, he highlighted specific trends within the 2026 data. He pointed to noticeable improvements in subjects such as Mathematics, suggesting that the drive for genuine learning is yielding results. However, the government has also noted a slight decline in Social Studies performance across both BECE and WASSCE levels, a matter President Mahama confirmed is currently under formal investigation to identify underlying causes and implement corrective measures. The President emphasized that students must earn their grades through merit to ensure their long-term educational and professional success. Supporting this narrative of educational reform, the Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Clement Abas Apaak, has robustly defended the administration's record against criticisms from Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin. Dr. Apaak dismissed claims of an "education crisis," arguing that the challenges cited by the opposition were largely remnants of the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration. He cited the stability of secondary school placements and overall WASSCE performance as evidence that current reforms are working. Dr. Apaak urged for a national conversation on education that is grounded in factual evidence and honest evaluation rather than politicized narratives or sensationalism. As the Mahama administration continues its "Resetting Ghana" agenda, the focus remains on fostering a culture of accountability and academic integrity within the school system. The government maintains that transparent examination results are essential for identifying gaps in the curriculum and ensuring that the investment in education translates into real-world skills for the youth. Moving forward, the Ministry of Education intends to continue its consultations and reforms to ensure that the progress seen in the 2026 exam cycle becomes a permanent standard for the future of Ghanaian education.

President Mahama Outlines Comprehensive Education Reforms to End Double-Track System and Support Teachers

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to phasing out the Double-Track System in Ghana’s senior high schools (SHS) by the end of 2027. Speaking during his 'Resetting Ghana' tour and a Citizens’ Engagement event in Wa, the President emphasized that the transition is necessary to increase contact hours between teachers and students and to ensure all learners attend and vacate school simultaneously. To support this initiative, the government has secured a $300 million facility from the World Bank and is overseeing the construction of 16 new senior high schools to address the current infrastructure deficit. As part of these infrastructure improvements, President Mahama announced that Han Senior High School in the Upper West Region will be converted from a day school to a fully-fledged boarding institution. This move is part of a broader review of the Community Day Senior High School model to better align with local population patterns and student needs. The President noted that the government is also working to stabilize funding for secondary education through dedicated financing for SHSs and student feeding programs, which has significantly reduced the operational challenges and resource complaints previously reported by school headmasters. In a significant move to improve education and healthcare in underserved areas, President Mahama announced a 20% salary incentive for workers posted to deprived districts. The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission has been tasked with identifying the eligible districts for this initiative, which aims to encourage professionals to accept postings to challenging environments. The President stressed that this incentive, coupled with planned improvements to local public services, is essential for ensuring that every Ghanaian community receives quality basic services regardless of its geographic location. President Mahama also took the opportunity to debunk rumors regarding the introduction of new compulsory languages in public schools. He clarified that the Cabinet has not approved any policy to mandate Arabic or Chinese as compulsory subjects for all students. While noting that Arabic is already taught in specific English-Arabic schools to support Muslim communities, he questioned the feasibility of adding more compulsory languages given existing challenges in French education. He also expressed satisfaction with recent WASSCE results, attributing the improvement to enhanced invigilation and a renewed focus on integrity within the teaching profession. While the government remains firm on its 2027 target to end the double-track system, the Institute for Education Studies (IFEST) has offered a different perspective, urging the government to consider maintaining the system until 2030. IFEST Executive Director Dr. Peter Anti suggested that the system remains a viable interim solution to space constraints if supported by robust investment in technology and online learning. However, the President maintains that the influx of infrastructure projects and the new World Bank funding will provide the necessary capacity to return to a single-track calendar within his proposed timeframe.

Nearly 50,000 families are stranded by BECE placement crisis; We need critical national conversation on education - Afenyo-Markin writes

Ghana’s Education Crisis: Stakeholders Demand Reform Amid Placement Chaos and Declining WASSCE Results

Ghana’s education sector is currently grappling with a dual crisis as nearly 55,000 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates remain unplaced in senior high schools, while recent West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results reveal that over 183,000 students failed to secure credits in Core Mathematics. Despite the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) reporting a record-high automatic placement rate of 87.32% for the 2026 cohort, the transition to secondary education has been marred by significant distress. Critics, including Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, describe the situation as a national emergency, noting that the credit pass rate in English has also fallen to a four-year low of 62.40%. President John Mahama’s administration now faces mounting pressure to address these systemic failures and stabilize the future of over 200,000 students at risk of being left behind. Education experts have pointed to recent policy shifts as the primary catalyst for the current placement distress. Dr. Kwabena Bempah Tandoh, former Deputy Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), attributed the confusion to changes in the placement model that allowed candidates to select two Category A schools, creating a mismatch between demand and available vacancies. This view was supported by Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, who criticized the lack of clear guidelines for student selection. While the government maintains that the new COLDSIS system—introduced under the Mahama administration in 2025—is an improvement, former GES Director-General Charles Aheto Tsegah argued that the computerized system has failed to eliminate favoritism and suggested returning placement authority to headteachers to resolve the recurring annual chaos. The crisis has reignited a fierce debate over the disparity between elite institutions and less-resourced schools. Ben Boakye, Executive Director of the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP), has urged the government to focus on improving quality across all schools rather than fixating on categorizing them as A, B, or C. To address immediate capacity issues, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has requested GH¢250 million from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) to expand infrastructure at prominent schools such as Achimota, Wesley Girls’, and PRESEC. However, the Institute for Education Studies (IFEST) warned that focusing investments solely on Category A schools only exacerbates the crisis by making Category C institutions less attractive to parents and students. To ensure a more equitable future, various stakeholders have proposed structural reforms to the educational landscape. The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has recommended building well-resourced model schools in every region to reduce competition for popular urban schools, while the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) has called for the removal of the 15% priority placement quota for public schools, citing it as an unfair burden on private school students. As the government works to resolve the stranded status of nearly 55,000 families, there is a growing consensus on the need for a national dialogue regarding educational funding, teacher motivation, and the creation of clear pathways into TVET and apprenticeship programs for those who did not meet WASSCE credit requirements.

UTAG-UG Accuses GTEC of Undermining Academic Autonomy Through Direct Faculty Recruitment

The University of Ghana branch of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG-UG) has formally accused the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) of gross regulatory overreach following the latter’s direct involvement in faculty recruitment. In a statement issued on September 9, 2026, the association expressed strong opposition to GTEC’s decision to advertise and solicit applications for academic staff positions at the University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (UBIDS) in Wa. UTAG-UG contends that such actions bypass established university governance structures and represent a dangerous precedent for the management of tertiary institutions in the country. Central to the association’s grievance is the argument that GTEC is overstepping its mandate as a regulatory body and encroaching upon the institutional autonomy of public universities. According to UTAG-UG, the power to recruit faculty is a fundamental component of academic freedom, traditionally reserved for the universities themselves to ensure that candidates meet specific departmental needs and standards. The association warned that allowing a central regulatory body to manage hiring processes opens the door for potential political interference in university governance, which could ultimately compromise the independence of teaching and research. Furthermore, UTAG-UG questioned GTEC’s practical capacity to effectively vet and recruit candidates across the highly specialized and diverse academic disciplines found within a university. The association described GTEC’s move as an “unprecedented overreach” that threatens to destabilize the established norms of the higher education sector. By centralizing the recruitment process, UTAG-UG argues that the unique academic requirements of specific institutions like UBIDS may be overlooked, leading to a decline in the quality of staff and institutional output. As the standoff continues, the implications for Ghana’s tertiary education landscape remain significant. UTAG-UG is calling for GTEC to respect the boundaries of its regulatory role and allow individual universities to maintain control over their internal administrative and academic processes. The situation at UBIDS is being closely watched by academic stakeholders across the country, as the resolution of this dispute will likely define the limits of GTEC’s authority and the future of institutional self-governance in Ghana’s public universities.

During his address at the ceremony, Vice-Chancellor Professor John Owusu emphasized that the introduction of these Master's programmes is part of a strategic commitment to producing highly skilled professionals capable of driving innovation in both the public and private sectors. He noted that the curriculum for these programmes was meticulously designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical industry requirements. Since its establishment in 1997, KTU has evolved significantly, steadily increasing its academic offerings and infrastructure. To support its new postgraduate focus, the university has deepened its international partnerships, which Professor Owusu highlighted as essential for enhancing research output and fostering student mobility. These collaborations are expected to provide students and faculty with exposure to global best practices, ensuring that the research conducted within the university has both local relevance and international impact. As the university looks toward the future, this first graduation of Master's students serves as a blueprint for further academic expansion. The success of this maiden batch provides the momentum needed for KTU to introduce additional postgraduate and potentially doctoral programmes in the coming years. By strengthening its capacity to offer advanced technical education, Koforidua Technical University is positioning itself as a leader in the development of human capital necessary for Ghana's industrial and technological advancement.

Private schools want boarding subsidies redirected to day schools to ease SHS placement crisis

GNACOPS Proposes Redirecting Boarding Subsidies to Day Schools to Resolve 2026 SHS Placement Crisis

The Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) has proposed a radical shift in education financing, calling on the government to redirect subsidies from boarding institutions to day secondary schools. This appeal comes at a critical time when thousands of students remain unplaced following the 2026 Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) exercise. GNACOPS argues that the current placement crisis is a direct result of an over-reliance on the boarding school model, which has reached its capacity limits and is failing to accommodate the growing number of Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduates. To address the immediate shortfall, GNACOPS has pointed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in October 2025. This agreement outlines a framework where 85 participating private schools across the country are prepared to absorb 54,985 unplaced candidates. The council emphasizes that these private institutions already possess the necessary infrastructure and staff to provide quality education, provided the government is willing to reallocate resources to support students in these settings. By leveraging existing private sector capacity, the council believes the Ministry of Education can resolve the placement bottleneck without the immediate need for massive new public infrastructure projects. Central to the GNACOPS argument is a critique of the historical and financial priority given to boarding education in Ghana. The council contends that the heavy focus on boarding facilities has created an artificial scarcity of available spots, as the cost of housing and feeding students consumes a significant portion of the education budget. By prioritizing and incentivizing day school attendance, GNACOPS suggests that the government could significantly lower the per-pupil cost and expand access to secondary education for a larger portion of the population. They are calling for an urgent rebalancing of investments to ensure that no student is left behind due to the lack of a dormitory bed. As the placement crisis continues to cause anxiety for parents and students alike, the council has sought a formal audience with the Minister of Education to discuss these proposals. However, as of now, the Ministry has yet to issue an official response or indicate whether it is open to reconsidering the current subsidy structure. The outcome of these potential discussions could prove pivotal for the 2026 academic year, determining whether the government will maintain its traditional focus on boarding schools or embrace a more decentralized, day-school-oriented approach in partnership with the private sector.
