Education Minister, implores world leaders to adopt measures to improve access and quality of education globally

Education Minister, Yaw Osei Adutwum, has urged world leaders to consider adopting prudent measures to improve access and quality of education in their countries.

He said the current situation across the world, called for all nations to make access to education for all a topmost priority to improve socio-economic development.

Dr Adutwum was delivering a keynote address via zoom at the official opening of a meeting of a UN High-Level Advisory Group for Mission 4.7, a new global initiative to put into practice the bold vision articulated by the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) target 4.7 on education.

The meeting brought together education experts from across the globe to share ideas on how best to support the development of global education.

The Minister described the ongoing transformation of the nation’s education as very crucial to catch up with the rest of the world.

He explained that after undertaking several reforms as a nation, there was the need to look at what was needed critically by the nation so that the right resources could be provided to strengthen the system.

Dr Adutwum assured the world of Ghana’s readiness to cooperate with agencies and institutions to discuss issues relating to the development of education in the world.

He indicated that Ghana was currently embarking on mapping Junior High Schools towards a review to support the planning of a new JHS schools’ construction to meet the demands of the 21st Century.

Some of the members of the Advisory Board took turns to talk about a mapping project being taken by the group to gather data on the location, the number of schools, facilities in them and what needs they had.

The data collection exercise is to help in proper planning and how to seek support for their improvement.
