Government will introduce coding, artificial intelligence and TVET into Ghana's basic school curriculum as part of sweeping reforms to strengthen STEM education.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu said the reforms are aimed at equipping learners with practical, technology-driven skills to prepare them for an increasingly digital and competitive global economy while strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, July 20, the minister announced that the revised curriculum would be formally presented to the Ministry of Education on Wednesday before being submitted to President John Dramani Mahama for policy consideration and subsequent approval by Cabinet and Parliament.

"I am happy to note that on Wednesday, a revised curriculum for all pupils from kindergarten to junior high school will be presented formally to the Ministry of Education for onward submission to the President and for the policy to go to Cabinet and Parliament," Mr Iddrisu said.

He added: "The revision of our curriculum is to ensure a smart curriculum for greater integration of technology, science, engineering and mathematics. We have promised to introduce coding, electronics, artificial intelligence and TVET into the basic education curriculum."

According to the minister, the curriculum review seeks to build critical thinking, innovation and technical competencies among pupils from an early age, positioning Ghana's education system to meet future workforce demands.
