Okyenhene and Education Minister Lead Call for Universities to Prioritize Entrepreneurship and National Development

Ghanaian traditional leaders and government officials have intensified calls for a paradigm shift in higher education, urging tertiary institutions to evolve from simply awarding degrees to fostering innovation and job creation. At the investiture of Professor Eric Kwasi Ofori as the new Vice-Chancellor of Garden City University in Kumasi, the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, emphasized that the future of the nation depends on nurturing young business leaders. He argued that universities must equip graduates with critical thinking and innovative skills to become ethical leaders capable of driving economic transformation rather than remaining job seekers. Echoing these sentiments on the national level, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu challenged university leadership to align their academic programs with Ghana’s immediate developmental priorities. Speaking at the inauguration of a new 200-bed hostel at Wisconsin International University College, the Minister stressed the importance of universities sticking to their foundational missions. He also called for a more collaborative relationship between university management and governing councils, urging councils to provide strategic support rather than interfering in the day-to-day administration of these institutions. Beyond curriculum and national policy, the focus has also shifted toward the quality of the student-lecturer relationship. At an international conference at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), former Vice-Chancellor Professor Emmanuel Adow Obeng raised concerns about a perceived decline in lecturers' commitment to student welfare. He urged academics to prioritize the nurturing and mentoring of students over the singular pursuit of publishing academic papers. This call for a more student-centered approach was made during an event honoring Professor Domwini Dabire Kuupole, whose career was celebrated for its dedication to student development and regional integration. These collective calls for reform come at a time when private universities face increasing pressure. Professor Eric Kwasi Ofori noted that private institutions are grappling with intensified competition from public universities, which have expanded their fee-paying programs. In response, Garden City University and similar institutions are planning to introduce specialized healthcare programs and expand infrastructure to meet specific national demands. The consensus among these stakeholders is that the survival and relevance of Ghana's higher education sector depend on its ability to produce graduates who are not only academically proficient but also prepared to solve the country's socio-economic challenges.

Bank of Ghana and CBG Intensify Financial Literacy Drive to Shield Students and Persons with Disabilities from Digital Risks

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) and Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) have launched major financial literacy initiatives aimed at empowering vulnerable groups and the youth against the growing complexities of the digital economy. While the central bank is targeting second-cycle institutions to address risks associated with digital loans, CBG has focused its efforts on enhancing the economic independence of persons with disabilities (PwDs). These coordinated efforts reflect a national priority to bridge the financial knowledge gap and foster responsible financial participation across diverse demographics in Ghana. The Bank of Ghana's initiative, led by Godfred Cudjoe of the Financial Stability Department, specifically targets senior high school students in the Western Region, including those at Archbishop Porter Girls, Adiembra SHS, and Mpohor SHS. The program aims to correct common misconceptions about banking products, such as the legal role of a 'next of kin' and the responsibilities of loan guarantors. By educating students early, the BoG hopes to create a generation of financially savvy consumers who can navigate the risks of digital financial services and pass this vital knowledge on to their families. Simultaneously, Consolidated Bank Ghana has successfully trained 200 persons with disabilities from various organizations across the Greater Accra Region. Organized in partnership with Korklu's Foundation and the Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations, this one-day program provided practical financial skills and facilitated the opening of new bank accounts with initial deposits for all participants. Sheila Azuntaba, CBG’s Deputy Managing Director, and Dorcas Naa Afotey, CEO of Korklu Foundation, emphasized that the initiative is a testament to the bank's commitment to financial inclusion and equal opportunity for all, regardless of physical ability. These educational drives come at a critical time as the rapid expansion of digital financial services in Ghana has exposed many to risks such as predatory borrowing and dormant accounts. Beyond theoretical training, the programs have showcased the entrepreneurial potential of participants, particularly through exhibitions of handmade goods by the PwD trainees. As Ghana continues its digital transformation, these literacy programs serve as a foundation for a more resilient and inclusive financial ecosystem, ensuring that both the youth and marginalized groups are equipped to make informed economic decisions.

UniMAC Vice Chancellor Navigates Complex Institutional Merger While Urging AI Investment for Ghana's Media Future

Professor Eric Opoku Mensah, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC), has outlined a vision for the institution that balances the structural complexities of its recent merger with the urgent need to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) in media education. Since the legal unification of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ), the National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI), and the Ghana Institute of Languages (GIL) in 2020, the university has been navigating a transition that the Vice Chancellor admits "keeps me awake at night." This period of internal restructuring coincides with a global shift in the media landscape, prompting Prof. Mensah to call for immediate state intervention to ensure Ghana’s media professionals remain globally competitive. The merger, established by an Act of Parliament, seeks to create a powerhouse for media and communication education in West Africa, yet the practical integration of three distinct entities remains a formidable task. Prof. Mensah highlighted that the process involves reconciling different institutional cultures, disparate administrative systems, and the logistical challenges of operating across multiple geographical locations. Creating a unified UniMAC identity while respecting the legacies of GIJ, NAFTI, and GIL requires constant effort and diplomatic management. Furthermore, the university faces significant infrastructure deficits, with student accommodation being a particularly pressing concern that currently hampers the student experience. Parallel to these internal hurdles is the rapidly evolving technological environment. Prof. Mensah has issued a stern warning that Ghana risks losing its competitive edge in the media industry if it fails to invest in AI-focused communication education. He emphasized that AI is fundamentally transforming journalism, broadcasting, and film production, necessitating a radical reevaluation of training strategies at the university level. To address this, the Vice Chancellor is seeking increased government support to establish advanced AI laboratories and specialized digital infrastructure. These facilities are seen as essential for producing graduates who can navigate a tech-driven world and maintain Ghana's influence in the global media landscape. Despite the sleepless nights caused by administrative and infrastructural challenges, the leadership at UniMAC remains focused on long-term excellence. The goal is to evolve the university into a premier regional center for media and communication training. By bridging the gap between historical legacy and future technology, UniMAC aims to provide a robust platform for teaching and learning that prepares the next generation of Ghanaian media professionals for the complexities of the 21st-century global marketplace.

Education Ministry and GES Condemn Violent Attacks on Schools in Yendi and Savelugu Following Armed Assault on Headmaster

The Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) have issued a strong condemnation following a series of violent incidents targeting educational institutions and personnel in the Northern Region. In Yendi, the Zohe Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Primary School was the scene of a terrifying armed assault on July 9, which has led to the temporary closure of the facility. According to official reports, two armed men stormed the school premises and fired shots indiscriminately, causing widespread panic among students and staff. The school's headmaster, Mr. Mohammed Shing Gazali, was reportedly assaulted and sustained injuries during the confrontation, which is believed to have stemmed from a dispute over the construction of a commercial shed or general encroachment on school property. In response to the violence, the Ghana Education Service has ordered the temporary closure of the Zohe EP Schools until July 13, 2026, to ensure the safety of the academic community while security assessments are conducted. The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has directed the Ghana Police Service to launch a swift and thorough investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice. The Ministry emphasized that schools must remain "sacred spaces" and safe environments for learning, urging the public to respect the sanctity of educational grounds and cease any unauthorized construction or encroachment activities that provoke such conflicts. Adding to the growing concerns regarding educator safety, the Savelugu Municipal Education Directorate recently confirmed the tragic death of Mr. Fusini Alendu Ghene, a teacher at Gushei M/A Basic School. Mr. Ghene was found lifeless in the Gushei community after a distress call was made to the police following an attack. This fatal incident has amplified calls for better security measures for teachers, particularly those working in rural or volatile areas. The Education Directorate has since advised teachers to remain vigilant and report any security threats to the appropriate authorities as the police continue their investigations into the circumstances surrounding his death. These combined events have highlighted a disturbing trend of violence affecting the educational sector in the region. The Ministry of Education has reiterated its solidarity with the affected staff and students, calling on community members to assist the police with any information that could lead to arrests. As the GES prepares for the scheduled reopening of the Yendi schools, the focus remains on restoring a sense of security and ensuring that educational activities can proceed without the threat of physical harm or intimidation.

President Mahama Directs Education Ministry to Implement Constitutional Literacy as Peace Council Boosts Civic Awareness in Schools

In a significant move to enhance civic awareness and legal literacy among the youth, President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Ministry of Education to review and act upon a petition for mandatory constitutional literacy in basic education. This directive follows a formal request submitted by the African Chamber of Content Producers (ACCP) in June 2026, which raised concerns about the high levels of legal ignorance among Ghanaians. The initiative aligns with a broader national trend of using the educational system to foster responsible citizenship and social harmony, as evidenced by concurrent nationwide efforts to integrate peace education and legal awareness into the classroom experience. The ACCP petition highlights a critical gap in the current curriculum, noting that many students complete their basic education without ever reading the Constitution, leaving them vulnerable to legal repercussions for laws they are unaware of. To address this, the Chamber proposed five key reforms, including the development of a mandatory constitutional literacy curriculum and making civic knowledge an examinable subject. President Mahama’s swift response underscores a commitment to ensuring that every Ghanaian child understands their rights and the legal framework governing the nation. The Ministry of Education has now been tasked with developing a comprehensive implementation plan to integrate these reforms into the school system. Complementing this policy shift, the Central Regional Office of the National Peace Council (NPC) has successfully launched a school-based peace education campaign under the theme "Preventing Violence in Schools." In the first quarter of 2026, the initiative reached over 3,000 students, providing them with practical training in conflict resolution, respectful communication, and the implications of the Vigilantism and Related Offences Act, 2019. Dr. Charles Ohene-Amoh, representing the Council, emphasized that schools must play a central role in fostering social harmony and preventing conflict before it starts, particularly through youth capacity development programs. These combined efforts by the presidency and the National Peace Council represent a dual-track approach to strengthening Ghana’s democratic fabric. While the proposed constitutional reforms aim to provide a formal legal foundation for students, the NPC's field campaigns offer the practical social tools necessary for peaceful coexistence. As the Ministry of Education begins its review of the ACCP’s proposal and the NPC prepares to extend its campaign to additional regions, the focus remains on equipping the next generation with the knowledge and temperament required to navigate their legal responsibilities and contribute to national stability.

Ghana is witnessing a significant surge in industry-specific educational and training initiatives designed to bridge the skills gap in critical sectors such as insurance, agriculture, and biotechnology. These programs, led by both government bodies and private associations, aim to equip the next generation of professionals with the technical expertise and leadership qualities required to navigate modern global challenges. From the commencement of the Ghana Insurers Association’s (GIA) international seminar to the graduation of hundreds of agricultural brigadiers and the launch of a fully funded pharmaceutical upskilling program, the focus remains on enhancing national productivity through targeted professional development. In the financial sector, the GIA has launched its 4th International Educational Seminar, centered on the theme of bold leadership and capacity building. GIA President Boatemaa Barfour-Awuah emphasized that the industry must evolve to handle emerging risks such as climate change and cyber threats. The seminar outlines four strategic priorities: the responsible adoption of technology, expanding insurance access, maintaining ethical conduct, and fostering stakeholder collaboration. This drive for professional excellence is mirrored in the agricultural sector, where the Ministry of Food and Agriculture is expanding the Feed Ghana Brigade. Minister Eric Opoku recently celebrated the graduation of 506 new brigadiers, noting that private agribusinesses are already requesting their services even before official deployment, highlighting a desperate need for modern agricultural techniques and skilled labor in the private sector. Furthering Ghana's scientific capabilities, the BioMex Certificate Programme has opened applications for its second cohort, offering a fully funded opportunity for professionals in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sciences. This initiative, part of the PharmaVax Ghana project and co-funded by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, provides 26 specialized modules across six competence clusters. By providing internationally recognized certification and access to an exclusive alumni network, BioMex aims to position Ghana as a hub for vaccine and health technology in Africa. These combined efforts across various industries underscore a strategic national shift toward high-value vocational and professional education to drive long-term economic stability and youth employment.

Ghana's Education Sector Grapples with Climate Crises through STEM Innovation and Disaster Preparedness

Our Lady of Grace Senior High School has emerged as the winner of the fourth National STEM Plastic Waste Management Competition in Kumasi, a victory that highlights growing student engagement with Ghana's environmental crises. Organized by the Konrad Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Ghana Office in collaboration with the Catholic Bishops' Conference, the competition saw students from various institutions, including the Catholic Technical Institute and St. Augustine's Senior High School, showcase practical solutions by transforming plastic waste into recycled products. This spirit of youth innovation is increasingly vital as the country faces the escalating physical and systemic threats posed by climate change, which continue to jeopardize the stability of the academic calendar. The vulnerability of the educational sector was starkly illustrated during severe flooding in June 2026, which paralyzed the capital city of Accra. Inundated roads at key transit points like the N1 Highway and Kwame Nkrumah Circle prevented students from reaching their classrooms and forced the postponement of professional examinations at the Ghana School of Law. This ongoing crisis, exacerbated by paved-over wetlands and outdated drainage systems, reflects a global trend where climate events disrupt the education of approximately 40 million children annually. Education planners are now calling for a strengthened framework for disaster preparedness, emphasizing the need for resilient school infrastructure and specialized training in flood-prone areas. To bridge the gap between these environmental challenges and public awareness, the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) has announced an expansion of its environmental journalism programme across West Africa. Speaking at the CJID Ghana Media Summit, Executive Director Babatunde Akintunde underscored the importance of specialized training for journalists to bolster coverage on climate resilience and environmental governance. By improving reporting in Ghana and neighboring countries, the initiative aims to hold authorities accountable and ensure that environmental issues receive the urgent attention required to protect critical infrastructure. Moving forward, the focus remains on ensuring that learning is not left behind when disaster strikes. Ghana has previously demonstrated proactive potential through its implementation of Emergency Remote Teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. By leveraging these existing frameworks and integrating STEM-based entrepreneurial solutions to waste management, the country seeks to build a more resilient educational ecosystem. The transition toward a circular economy and improved disaster management is no longer just an environmental goal but a prerequisite for the continued education and development of Ghana’s youth.

UBIDS Secures Pre-Bar Law Accreditation as GTEC Blacklists 49 Unaccredited Learning Centres

Ghana’s tertiary education landscape is currently navigating a period of rigorous quality reassessment, marked by the University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (UBIDS) achieving a major milestone in legal education while the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) flags nearly 50 institutions for accreditation failures. In a significant boost for legal training in Northern Ghana, UBIDS in Wa has officially secured accreditation from the General Legal Council to run a one-year Pre-Bar Professional Law Course under the Legal Education Act, 2026. This development places UBIDS among a select group of 18 institutions nationwide authorized to offer the program, following a successful graduation ceremony where 70 Bachelor of Laws (LLB) students and 298 postgraduate students, including eight PhD candidates, were honored for their academic achievements. The success at UBIDS is underscored by the university's growing reputation for excellence, with Vice-Chancellor Prof. Emmanuel Kanchebe Derbile noting that 28 out of 42 of the institution’s first LLB graduates successfully passed the Ghana School of Law entrance examination. This achievement was lauded by Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin and University Chairman Dr. Benjamin Kunbuor, who highlighted the institution's role as a center of excellence despite existing infrastructural hurdles. However, this academic progress stands in stark contrast to a broader regulatory crackdown by GTEC. The commission recently issued a stern warning to prospective students and parents regarding 49 learning centres and institutions operating without valid accreditation or with expired credentials. This list includes 15 public university learning centres, some affiliated with prestigious institutions like the University of Ghana and the University of Education, Winneba, alongside 34 other private entities. Beyond the classroom, the commitment to professional standards extends to the nation’s physical assets, as the Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE) prepares to launch a new Infrastructure Report Card on July 14, 2026. This independent evaluation will provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of Ghana’s roads, bridges, electric power, and telecommunications, updating the previous 2016 assessment. Ing. Dr. Charles Kwarteng Asafo-Adjei emphasized that the report is designed to identify critical gaps and foster resilience against climate change. By providing an objective performance review of infrastructure developed up to 2025, the GhIE aims to guide policymakers toward informed investments, ensuring that the professional environments in which new graduates operate are as robust and well-regulated as their academic qualifications.

Accra Metropolitan Assembly, Ghana Chamber of Mines, and Local Universities Lead Initiatives to Strengthen Educational Infrastructure and Health Services

A series of strategic interventions from government bodies, the private sector, and academic institutions are set to enhance the quality of education and healthcare delivery across Ghana. The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has spearheaded this drive by donating 997 school desks to eight public basic schools within the Greater Accra Region. This significant contribution, comprising 466 mono desks, 360 dual desks, and 170 hexagonal desks, aims to eliminate infrastructure deficits and create a more conducive learning environment. Alongside these educational tools, the AMA provided essential medical and environmental health equipment, including blood pressure monitors and glucometers, to the Accra Metro Health Directorate to bolster community outreach following recent flooding challenges. In the Birim North District, the Ghana Chamber of Mines and Zijin Golden Ridge Limited have launched the 'Purple Peach Project' to address gender-specific barriers to education. The initiative has provided 1,036 female students across 16 basic schools with an eight-month supply of sanitary towels. By ensuring that young girls can manage menstrual hygiene with dignity, the project directly tackles the issue of period-related absenteeism. This intervention aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically focusing on health, education, and gender equality, while relieving the financial burden on families who struggle to afford basic hygiene products. Furthering the impact of academic partnerships on national development, Garden City University (GCU) and James Madison University (JMU) have collaborated to support the emergency medical sector. Following an annual student exchange program where JMU students identified critical gaps in local medical facilities, the two universities donated a defibrillator valued at GH"26,000 to the Manhyia Government Hospital in Kumasi. This donation highlights the practical benefits of international academic collaborations, where student placements lead to tangible improvements in the host community's emergency response capabilities. These diverse initiatives collectively represent a holistic approach to national progress, emphasizing that improvements in education are intrinsically linked to health and social welfare. While the AMA focuses on the physical infrastructure of urban classrooms, the Ghana Chamber of Mines and university partnerships address the health and hygiene needs that often dictate a student's ability to remain in school or access quality care. As the AMA pledges to monitor the usage of its donated items, these combined efforts from various stakeholders underscore the importance of sustained investment in Ghana's human capital and public institutions.

Mabrouk Non: The Sudanese Teacher Defying Displacement to Educate Refugees in Libya

In the face of displacement and the harsh realities of the Sudanese civil war, a 58-year-old educator is ensuring that the light of knowledge is not extinguished for his fellow refugees. Mabrouk Non, a veteran teacher who fled the ongoing conflict in Sudan, has established a makeshift school in Tajoura, Libya, to provide critical education to children and families living in precarious conditions. His initiative highlights the desperate need for educational continuity for the thousands of Sudanese citizens who have sought refuge across North Africa since the outbreak of hostilities in their homeland. The classroom created by Non is far from conventional, constructed entirely from scavenged tree branches and scraps of wood. Despite the lack of formal infrastructure, textbooks, or modern resources, his English lessons have become a focal point for the displaced community in Tajoura. The classes attract a diverse group of learners, ranging from young children to older adults, all driven by a shared determination to improve their future prospects through language acquisition. This makeshift facility serves not only as a place of instruction but also as a rare space of stability and hope for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods to the war. The plight of these families underscores the broader humanitarian crisis facing Sudanese refugees, who often encounter poor living conditions and limited access to basic services in host countries like Libya. However, the dedication of teachers like Mabrouk Non demonstrates a profound commitment to the intellectual development of the next generation, even under extreme duress. As the conflict in Sudan continues to displace millions, these grassroots educational efforts provide a vital lifeline, equipping displaced youth with the skills necessary to eventually rebuild their lives and their country.
