The Governments of Ghana and the Republic of Korea have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the implementation of the second phase of the Digital STEM Education Project, with Korea committing US$28 million to expand digital STEM education across Ghana.
The six‑year project (2026–2032) will extend interventions to the Central, Eastern, Ashanti and Northern regions, while supporting the construction of the Accra STEM Park, strengthening the Northern STEM Resource Centre, and integrating digital technologies into STEM education nationwide.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Minister for Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, described education as the foundation of national development and said the project would equip learners with critical digital skills through the introduction of robotics, coding, electronics and artificial intelligence at the basic education level. He also announced that the Ministry would roll out a revised curriculum for kindergarten to junior high school before September 30, with digital education as a key component.
The Minister expressed appreciation to the Government of Korea and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) for their continued support to Ghana’s education sector. He noted that the partnership reflects Ghana’s determination to prepare its young people for the demands of the digital economy.
The Korean Ambassador to Ghana, Park Kyongsig, and KOICA Country Director, Dong Hyun Lee, reaffirmed their commitment to partnering with Ghana to ensure the successful implementation of the project and advance digital STEM education for Ghanaian learners.
