The Deputy Minister of Education, Dr Clement Abas Apaak, has outlined a series of reforms aimed at improving basic school education in the country as part of the government's commitment to inclusive and future-oriented education.

According to him, the government is far advanced in reviewing the curriculum of pupils in basic schools to improve learning outcomes and also strengthen the educational foundation of learners.

“The government is aggressively revising and aligning our kindergarten to basic six curriculum. We are transforming school and middle-tier leadership for foundational learning. I think this is part of the process.

“We are also transforming teacher preparation and continuing professional development support. We are equally investing in learning material and the learning environment. We are building a robust assessment and data system” he said at a forum in Accra on March 18, 2026.

Dr Apaak further disclosed that the education ministry is also evaluating the mandates of district education offices across the country.

“At the same time, we are reviewing the mandates of the district education offices to ensure that supervision is not just administrative, but it is truly pedagogical, focusing on improved teaching and learning outcomes,” he remarked.

These reforms, if fully implemented, are expected to address teacher training, resource allocation and classroom supervision.
