Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Minister for Education, has urged world leaders to consider adopting prudent measures to improve access and quality of education in their countries.

He explained that with the current situation across the world, there was the need for all nations to make access to education all be their topmost priority since its benefits were unmatched.

Dr. Adutwum was delivering a keynote address on Tuesday via zoom at the official opening of a meeting of a High-Level Advisory Group for Mission 4.7, a new global initiative to put into practice the bold vision articulated by the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) on education and target 4.7.

The meeting which lasted about one and half hours brought together education experts from across the globe to share ideas on how best to support the development of education in the world.

It is expected that Dr. Adutwum, who is a carrier educationist with a barrage of experience brings to bear his remarkable leadership in global education to benefit the rest of the globe.

Mapping project

Some of the members of the Advisory Board took turns to talk about a mapping project being taken by the group to gather data on the location, the number of schools, facilities in them, and what needs they had.

The data collection exercise is to help in proper planning and how to seek support for their improvement.

Several targets under SDG 4 are concerned with access to various levels of education, especially for vulnerable populations.

Timely data on school locations is essential for the assessment of students and student’s needs, planning for resources allocation and access to other services such as health facilities, and policy planning that can improve the quality of education for students.

To support the call to action, the UN SDSN’s SDG’s is providing an accessible product using open-source data to share national population counts within various travel distances and time from recorded educational facilities

The goal is to engage local students, communities and other actors in the ongoing development of this dataset and learn how to work with education ministers and statistical offices to complement official data sources.

Ghana’s Status

He described the ongoing transformation of the nation’s education as very crucial to catch up with the rest of the world.

He explained that after undertaking several reforms as a nation, there was the need to look at what was needed critically by the nation so the right resources could be provided to strengthen it.

Dr. Adutwum assured the world of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government’s readiness to cooperate with agencies and institutions that would approach the nation to discuss issues relating to the development of education in the world.

He indicated that Ghana is currently embarking on mapping Junior High Schools towards a review.

This, he said would support the planning of a new JHS schools’ construction to meet the 21st-century education need.

Dr Jason Sawle, a U K based Education Consultant, charged the world to take the issue of mapping of schools crucial since it was needed badly to promote the development of nations through education.

He pledged to work diligently to bring out the best in the usage of mapping of schools across the globe since it could expedite action on the development of the world.

On his part Prof. Jeffery Sachs, the President of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), pledged to support Ghana’s education transformation effort after praising the government’s economic transformation agenda through the introduction of the Free Secondary Education

Background

Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, who is also a Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe in the Ashanti region is an educationist who has spent all his life teaching, studying and managing education at different levels and in different parts of the world.

This makes his appointment to the world-class platform not a surprise to most Ghanaians especially looking at his performance in the past five years as Deputy Education Minister and his recent elevation to the substantive position of Minister for education.

He has been very instrumental since the beginning of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s-led government in rolling out of the novel Free Senior High School (FSHS) initiative, the Double Track admission system among others. All these coupled with others were part of the reasons why the President re-assigned him to be the substantive Minister for Education.#END#
