Mahama to Establish Committee for Comprehensive Educational Reforms

President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to form a National Education Reform Committee tasked with a comprehensive review of Ghana’s educational system.

The initiative aims to address challenges and improve the quality and accessibility of education across all levels—from kindergarten to tertiary, including technical and vocational training.

Speaking at the National Convention of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana in Winneba on Thursday, January 9, President Mahama underscored the need for reforms to meet the evolving needs of the country’s educational sector.

“I will set up a planning committee to start working on the National Education Review Conference that I promised,” he stated. “This conference will review our educational system right from kindergarten through basic to secondary, tertiary, technical, and vocational education, and identify the barriers to quality education at each level.”

The President’s announcement reflects his administration’s commitment to prioritizing education as a cornerstone for national development. The forthcoming reforms are expected to provide solutions to longstanding issues in the sector while preparing Ghanaian students for a dynamic and competitive global environment.
