Together, let’s reflect, review and reset Ghana’s educational system – Dr. Apaak

The Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Clement Abas Apaak, has called for a collective effort to reform Ghana’s educational system.

Ghana’s educational system is at a crossroads, and it’s time to take a step back, reassess, and revamp it to better serve the nation’s future. This was the rallying call made by Dr. Apaak at the 25th-anniversary celebration of Bolgatanga Technical University.

Speaking on behalf of the Honourable Minister for Education Haruna Iddrisu, Dr. Apaak stated the importance of education in shaping Ghana’s future cannot be overstated. “Education is the foundation of our nation’s future, and it is through institutions like BTU that we can build a prosperous and self-sufficient Ghana.”

He commended the leadership, faculty, and staff of Bolgatanga Technical University for their dedication and service, urging students and alumni to uphold the institution’s values and use their knowledge and skills to drive national development.

Dr. Apaak also highlighted the need for stronger partnerships, innovation, and collective commitment to advancing technical education. “Together, let’s reflect, review and reset our educational system in general, and technical and vocational education in particular.”

This call to action is particularly significant, given the crucial role technical and vocational education play in equipping Ghana’s youth with the skills needed to drive economic growth and development.

As Ghana celebrates 25 years of Bolgatanga Technical University, it’s clear that the nation’s educational system is ripe for reform. By reflecting on past successes and challenges, reviewing current systems, and resetting the educational agenda, Ghana can build a brighter future for its citizens.

In the words of Dr. Apaak, “This is the surest way we can build the Ghana we want.”
