Dr. Apaak pledges STEM centers to rescue underserved Ghana youth

Deputy Education Minister Dr. Clement Abas Apaak announced government plans to enhance STEM infrastructure in underserved communities across Ghana. The Builsa South Member of Parliament made these remarks during the Ghana Science and Tech Explorer Prize Exhibition at Accra's National Theatre on Thursday. His administration commits to establishing at least one STEM learning center in each region. The government will prioritize developing model schools in areas lacking adequate educational resources. These facilities will provide students with hands-on learning opportunities and modern equipment.

The ministry plans to integrate practical STEM curricula developed by GSTEP into national education programs. Teacher training receives significant funding allocation to ensure educators can effectively guide student innovation. Dr. Apaak praised participating students for their problem-solving initiatives and encouraged continued experimentation. He emphasized that quality education access should not depend on family income or geographic location. The government views STEM education as essential for developing Ghana's future workforce and addressing national challenges.
