The African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Ghana is urging stakeholders, including industry and diplomatic corps, to support the government\u2019s bold ambition to transform country\u2019s development through research, innovation and the practical application of mathematical sciences.<\/p>\n
\n
Speaking at an exclusive partnership event at Labadi Beach Hotel attended by government functionaries, members of the diplomatic corps and chief executives of leading companies in the country, the President and CEO of AIMS,Mr Thierry Zomahoun, laid out AIMS\u2019 bold vision and initiatives to lead the transformation of Africa through innovative scientific training, technical advances and breakthrough discoveries which would benefit society as a whole.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said Africa had the youngest population in the world and in the next few years, the continent would be the second largest in terms of population. \u201cAs leaders, we must take action now to empower our young people and position them to lead thinking, innovation and breakthroughs in technology to transform our continent economically.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To this end, AIMS has a vision of collaborating with governments and development organisations to build 15 knowledge ecosystems across the continent by 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Knowledge ecosystem<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said AIMS was also in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the German, the Canadian and British governments and the Master Card Foundation to build a knowledge ecosystem in Saltpond in the Central Region.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This center, he said would serve a multi purpose for training, research and capacity building and empower talented young people in the country to lead the effort in Ghana\u2019s transformational agenda.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe encourage the private sector to join us on this journey to build capacity and shape the minds that will shape the future of our continent,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Govt\u2019s support<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Minister of State for Tertiary Education, Prof. Kwesi Yankah lauded AIMS Ghana for leading the effort to transform the development of the continent through research, capacity building of mathematics teachers in the country and the bold ambition to build a Center of Excellence for research and practical application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI am inspired by the vision and work of AIMS on the continent and as the sector minister for tertiary education, I can confidently say that the objectives of AIMS are directly in line with His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u2019s vision for our education sector,\u201d he said. He pointed out that this initiative by AIMS would stimulate the demand for science and technology and leverage technology to popularise the teaching and learning of mathematics in the country.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fully in support of this initiative and encourage the private sector to partner the Ministry of Education and AIMS to bring the knowledge ecosystem to life,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
