emphasis on equipping students with technological skills and making them comfortable in intercultural and global communication, has earned the plaudits of the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).<\/p>\n<p>According to the MMDCEs, the introduction of 21st century education\u00a0is giving students the skills they need to succeed in this new world, and helping them grow the confidence to practice those\u00a0skills.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a meeting with the Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Adutwum, in Kumasi last Friday, the development agents expressed their solid belief that Ghana\u2019s education is on the path to improvement, citing the level of investment in the sector since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The MMDCEs praised Dr. Adutwum for encouraging stakeholders to embrace 21st century education as an instrument for accelerated growth.<\/p>\n<p>The commendation came after the minister delivered a comprehensive presentation on the improvements made in education since the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took office seven years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose was to inform the MMDCEs, as representatives of the President at the local level, about the government\u2019s achievements in the education sector, so that they could share the\u00a0success stories to their constituents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-432206\"

ministry\u2019s numerous innovative policies\u00a0aimed at improving Ghana\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n<p>The minister\u2019s presentation\u00a0focused on investments at all levels of the educational system, including Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Adutwum used a PowerPoint presentation to lead the MMDCEs through what the ministry has been doing around the country, providing pictorial and audio evidence to keep them up to date on the sector\u2019s paradigm shift.<\/p>\n<p>To demonstrate how learning outcomes under the current administration have greatly improved at both the basic and second cycle levels, the minister presented data and figures that put the NPP far ahead of its predecessors.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-432205\"

aimed at holistically teaching students to be relevant in the global community as the world moves toward the fourth industrial revolution.<\/p>\n<p>The MMDCEs, who were clearly impressed by the tremendous achievements and vision to improve education in the country, praised the Minister of Education\u00a0and his team for a job well done.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the MMDCEs\u00a0who talked to the media following the engagement stated that, although being members of the government, they were not privy to much of the information presented by the minister.<\/p>\n<p>They stated that while they are aware of the government\u2019s progress in the education sector, their interaction with the minister has increased their appreciation for the direction Ghana is taking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am overwhelmed by what the minister and his team have been doing at the ministry, having listened to the presentation he made,\u201d Francis Oti Boateng, District Chief Executive for Asante-Akim North, commented.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-432204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/school-building-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"390\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>He added\u00a0that STEM education is one of the most creative ideas the government has ever implemented in Ghana, and therefore asked Ghanaians to embrace it in order to improve the country\u2019s educational sector.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Tetteh, Municipal Chief Executive for Yilo Krobo, stated that the NPP government\u2019s desire to \u2018break the eight\u2019 primarily hinges on the works of the likes of Dr. Adutwum, and that if the party truly intends to achieve that aim, he should be considered for the running mate post.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the Education Minister told the media the engagement was to keep the\u00a0MMDCEs up to date on the government\u2019s major accomplishments in the education sector so that they can bring them to the attention of people in their jurisdictions, as key actors who deal directly with citizens at the local level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs much as we think they know what is going on, it is also important to bring them together and show them what the government has done elsewhere so they appreciate the development beyond their jurisdictions,\u201d Dr. Adutwum explained.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that, in addition to ensuring access and equity for Ghanaian children, the ministry is trying to establish more high-performing schools in order to eliminate the problem in which every parent wants their children to attend schools that they believe are superior to the ones in which they are enrolled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are affiliating new schools with existing high-performing schools, and our goal is to make sure that high-performing schools will be able to mentor the new schools so that in no time, they will also become high-performing schools,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Ernest Kofi
