From November 18 to 22, 2024, stakeholders of the Ghana Education Sector convened at the UPSA Conference Centre for the National Education Week (NEW), themed “The Education Transformation Agenda: Evidence from 2017.” Organized by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), the event aimed to assess the progress of educational reforms and strategies for achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.
On November 20, during the Evidence Summit 2024, Prof. Charles Amoatey, Director of DIWA, alongside Samuel Botchway, a DIWA Research Fellow, and Julia Duodo, presented their groundbreaking study, “Equipping State Actors for Change: A Study on Human and Institutional Capacity Assessment and Prioritization for Transforming Ghana’s TVET System.”
The study presented by DIWA emphasizes the need for robust capacity-building measures to strengthen Ghana’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system, aligning with national development goals under the Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Policies.
The week-long event served as a platform to share research-proven innovations and foster dialogue among policymakers, educators, and practitioners on reforms like STEM education, TVET, and curriculum restructuring.
