The Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, has reaffirmed government’s commitment to strengthening educational institutions under the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), with a focus on upgrading classrooms, dormitories, laboratories, and STEM facilities.
Speaking during a courtesy call by GAF officials, the Minister announced that priority infrastructure projects would be undertaken at Burma Camp, Takoradi, Tamale, and Wa, stressing the importance of discipline and practical education in preparing young people for national development.
The Director of GAF Education, Col. Osman Zuneidu Sham‑un, welcomed the pledge and outlined pressing infrastructure needs across GAF schools, including additional classrooms, dormitories, modern laboratories, STEM centres, and equipment for technical workshops.
Hon. Iddrisu further directed that GAF schools be included in the ongoing GETFund arrangement for educational materials and furniture. The Armed Forces indicated that preparations were already underway at selected locations to facilitate the proposed projects.
The initiative reflects government’s broader effort to expand access to quality education while ensuring that military‑run institutions contribute effectively to national capacity building.
