Ghana is set to host the 2025 ADEA Triennale on Education and Training from October 29th to 31st in Accra.
The announcement was made by the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
To be held under the theme, “Strengthening the resilience of Africa’s educational systems: Advancing towards ending learning poverty by 2035 with a well-educated and skilled workforce for the continent and beyond,” the Triennale is expected to convene over 1,000 participants from across the continent including education ministers, senior government officials, development partners, academics, educators, private sector leaders, and global education leaders.
Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, on Sunday, May 18, expressed Ghana’s pride in hosting the high-level forum.
“Ghana is honoured to welcome ADEA’s Triennale to Accra. We share ADEA’s and Africa’s vision of ending learning poverty by 2035 and building a skilled workforce for Africa’s future. Hosting the Triennale offers us a unique opportunity to highlight Ghana’s reforms to transform education for a sustainable future, learn from our continental peers, and forge bold partnerships to uplift education across the continent.”
Meanwhile, ADEA’s Executive Secretary, Albert Nsengiyumva, praised Ghana’s leadership in educational innovation.
“In an era of unprecedented challenges from learning poverty to the shifting demands of the labour market and shrinking education financing, we must strengthen system resilience, deepen peer learning, and accelerate the adoption of proven solutions.
Ghana’s leadership commitment and track record in educational innovation make it an ideal host for this pivotal convening.”
The 2025 edition of the Triennale will also assess progress made since the 2022 edition held in Mauritius, while incorporating recent continental milestones, including the African Union’s declaration of 2025–2034 as the Decade of Accelerated Education and outcomes from the 2024 Year of Education for Africa.
The three-day event will begin with partner meetings and exhibitions, followed by policy-level discussions and breakout sessions. A final communique of key messages will be presented for endorsement on the concluding day, along with a potential tour of local educational institutions.
