HOTCATT and GETFund Forge International Partnerships to Boost Tourism and AI Skills in Ghana

The Government of Ghana has intensified its efforts to modernize the nation’s workforce through two major educational partnerships aimed at digital innovation and service excellence. The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has entered into a strategic agreement with UNESCO to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital skills into the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector. Simultaneously, the Hotel Catering and Tourism Training Institute (HOTCATT) has partnered with the UK-based Association of Business Executives (ABE) to launch an internationally recognized qualification program, underscoring a nationwide shift toward aligning Ghanaian skills with global market demands. The GETFund-UNESCO partnership, formalized in Accra, focuses on preparing the youth for the rapidly evolving digital economy. GETFund Administrator Richard Kwasi Ofori Adjei emphasized the urgency of providing digital competencies and AI knowledge to keep pace with industrial technology changes. UNESCO Country Representative Edmond Moukala highlighted that the initiative will include updating curricula and providing capacity building for educators to ensure the responsible and ethical integration of AI. This program is expected to bridge the gap between classroom instruction and industry requirements, fostering both employment and entrepreneurship for TVET graduates. In the tourism sector, Deputy Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Yussif Issaka Jajah, acting on behalf of the Ministry, launched the HOTCATT-ABE Certification and Diploma Programmes. Speaking under the theme ‐Building a Globally Competitive Tourism Workforce,‑ Jajah stated that Ghana’s competitiveness in the global market will depend heavily on service quality and hospitality rather than just physical attractions. The partnership with ABE Global provides students with access to qualifications recognized in over 70 countries, including a UK Diploma in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality, which aims to elevate the standard of professional service in the country. Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, noted that this initiative is crucial for changing public perceptions about careers in the tourism sector. By offering professional training in various operational areas, the program aims to address significant training gaps for frontline workers. Enrollment is open to individuals with WASSCE, Diploma, or Degree certificates, as well as experienced professionals. Classes for these tourism and hospitality programs are scheduled to commence in October 2026, creating a pipeline of skilled professionals to support the government’s job creation agenda. These educational advancements reflect the broader policy goals of President John Mahama’s administration, which has prioritized tourism and vocational training as pillars for socio-economic development. By collaborating with international bodies like UNESCO and ABE, the government aims to reduce youth unemployment and position Ghana as a preferred destination for both digital investment and global tourism. These initiatives represent a comprehensive strategy to ensure that Ghanaian graduates are not only locally relevant but also globally competitive in the modern workforce.

WAEC Rejects Claims of Bias in 2026 BECE Results Amid Private School Demands for Independent Review

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has strongly dismissed allegations of bias and unfair marking of private school candidates in the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). Following the release of results on July 29, 2026, the Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) and the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) raised concerns over a perceived disparity between students' continuous assessments and their final exam grades. These associations have signaled a potential showdown with the Ministry of Education, including a planned formal petition for an independent review scheduled for August 7, 2026, to address allegations of unfair assessment and grading inconsistencies. In response to the mounting pressure, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, emphasized that all candidates are evaluated as a single cohort using a uniform marking scheme and syllabus. He clarified that the stanine grading system is applied consistently across both public and private institutions to ensure objectivity. While WAEC expressed openness to a professional independent audit of the results, it specifically rejected GNACOPS' demand for associations to conduct their own direct script audits. Kapi stated that any requests for remarking must follow established protocols and come from individual schools or candidates rather than umbrella organizations, noting that scripts are often swapped during marking to prevent bias. Other educational stakeholders have called for a more measured approach to the controversy. The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) urged parents and stakeholders to remain calm and avoid hasty public condemnation of WAEC. GNAT General Secretary Thomas Tanko Musah emphasized that concerns should be addressed through formal channels to protect the mental well-being of candidates from excessive public pressure. Simultaneously, education advocacy group Eduwatch has highlighted the need for an independent regulator to oversee assessment bodies like WAEC, arguing that such a body would ensure a more transparent and accessible appeals process for future examinations. Amid the marking controversy, over 620,000 BECE graduates have begun the process of selecting their preferred Senior High Schools (SHS) under newly revised guidelines. Under this policy introduced by the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES), students now select their second-cycle schools after receiving their results. This shift aims to help students make more informed choices based on their actual qualifications, potentially reducing the number of students with uncompetitive grades being placed in oversubscribed Category A schools. As the selection process concludes, the focus remains on whether the petitions from private school associations will lead to a review of the results or if the current grading will stand for the 2026 cohort.

Haruna Iddrisu Condemns Obuasi SHTS Violence as Six Arrested for Attack on Headmaster

The Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) have launched a high-level investigation into a violent assault on the Headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), Mr. Abdulai Zakaria. The incident, which occurred in August 2025, saw a mob of students physically attack the headmaster and vandalize his property, including his vehicle, following unfounded rumors linking him to ritualistic activities after a baby was discovered buried near the school. Six students have been arrested in connection with the violence, while Mr. Zakaria remains hospitalized at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital receiving treatment for multiple injuries. The Ministry has characterized the attack as a criminal act rather than a simple disciplinary issue, signaling a firm stance against lawlessness in educational institutions. Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu and Deputy Minister Dr. Clement Abas Apaak have condemned the violence in the strongest terms, asserting that such behavior undermines the safety and purpose of the school environment. Dr. Apaak pointed to several contributing factors fueling student indiscipline across the country, specifically highlighting the negative influence of social media, mobile phone misuse, and substance abuse. He expressed concern that many students are mimicking dangerous behaviors observed online and raised alarms regarding the growing use of narcotics and unapproved substances, including some marketed as energy drinks, which he suggested are contributing to increased aggression among the youth. This surge in school-based violence has prompted urgent calls for a national "moral reset" from various leadership figures. Osman A. Ayariga, CEO of the National Youth Authority (NYA), speaking during an event hosted by the Christian Council of Ghana, urged for a deep collaboration between families, religious bodies, and the government to restore traditional values. Ayariga emphasized that education must focus on character and citizenship, not just academic skills. Similarly, Samuel Anim Addo, an Executive Council Member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), lamented the erosion of respect for elders and community welfare, attributing the decline in discipline to a loss of guidance from parents and the overwhelming influence of digital platforms. In response to these challenges, stakeholders from an inter-faith dialogue in Accra have advocated for strengthening family values and increasing teacher supervision to curb the rising tide of misconduct. Proposed solutions include granting mission schools greater autonomy in management and reintroducing more stringent character formation programs. As the GES investigation proceeds, the Ministry of Education has pledged to enforce severe sanctions on those found responsible for the Obuasi SHTS attack, reaffirming its commitment to maintaining a safe and disciplined learning environment for all Ghanaian students.

COCOBOD Announces Scholarships for 3,000 Students as School Infrastructure and Safety Concerns Rise Nationally

The Ghanaian education sector has seen significant developments this week, ranging from a major expansion of student welfare programs to critical safety and housing interventions. The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has announced a revamped scholarship scheme targeting 3,000 wards of cocoa farmers for the upcoming academic season, specifically for those pursuing agriculture-related studies. This initiative, which aims to support 9,000 students by its third year, is part of a broader industry overhaul under the upcoming Ghana COCOBOD Bill, 2026. CEO Dr. Ransford Abbey emphasized that the selection process will be strictly merit-based and managed by a technical committee to ensure fairness for farmers' children, excluding COCOBOD staff members. While welfare programs expand, infrastructure and safety remain pressing concerns for students. In the Upper West Region, a devastating fire at the Wa Islamic Senior High School girls' dormitory has displaced 138 students. Although the Ghana National Fire Service successfully contained the blaze—suspected to have been caused by an electrical fault—personal belongings were destroyed. Local authorities are currently working to complete a new facility to house the displaced learners. Simultaneously, in Koforidua, the Rent Control Commission and the Ghana Tourism Authority have shut down the Serwaa Heights and Adehye3 hostels. The closures follow serious complaints from Koforidua Technical University students regarding poor sanitation and unregistered operations, with authorities mandating refunds for all affected residents. On the academic and professional development front, students and young professionals continue to reach new milestones. In the eighth edition of the Graphic Business Tertiary Sense Challenge, Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) and Pentecost University (PU) have both secured spots in the South-East Zone semi-finals. GCTU overcame Heritage Christian University with a score of 27-20, while PU edged out Valley View University in a 43-38 victory. Additionally, the inaugural D. A. Twum Jnr Fellowship was launched on August 4, 2026, inducting ten young professionals into a three-month mentorship program. The fellowship aims to groom future leaders in the advertising and marketing sectors, honoring the legacy of one of Ghana’s industry pioneers. These developments highlight a dual focus within Ghana's educational landscape: the drive to enhance professional skills and academic excellence through competitions and fellowships, alongside the urgent need to address systemic issues in student safety and housing. As COCOBOD prepares to implement its new scholarship system and local assemblies work to house displaced students in Wa, regulatory bodies like the Ghana Tourism Authority are signaling a commitment to stricter enforcement of standards. The convergence of these events underscores the ongoing effort to ensure that the quality of campus life matches the high academic aspirations of the nation's learners.

Jude Michelle Wins Historic KNUST SRC Presidency as Ghana-China Educational Ties and NCCE Leadership Programs Expand

The landscape of student leadership in Ghana has seen a significant milestone with the election of Jude Michelle Korleh Nortey as the second female President of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). This historic win comes at a time of increased national focus on the development of the next generation of Ghanaian leaders, bolstered by both local civic initiatives and international diplomatic partnerships. While domestic organizations like the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) are actively equipping student leaders with governance skills, international partners such as China are emphasizing the critical role of educational exchanges in strengthening bilateral relations. Jude Michelle, a third-year Political Science student, secured a decisive victory in the KNUST elections, garnering 10,435 votes—representing 56.71% of the valid votes cast. Succeeding Sharkir Is-Hak for the 2026/2027 academic year, her win by a margin of over 6,000 votes against seven other candidates highlights a strong mandate from the student body. Complementing this rise in campus leadership, the Ashanti Regional Directorate of the NCCE recently organized a Youth Leaders’ Empowerment Dialogue Session. The event, which drew over 70 participants from various tertiary institutions, focused on the rule of law, whistleblower protections, and ethical leadership. This initiative, supported by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, aimed to instill values of integrity and accountability among student representatives. Beyond the borders of campus politics, the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Cong Song, has reiterated the importance of "people-to-people" cooperation as the backbone of Ghana-China relations. Speaking in Accra, Ambassador Cong highlighted that the future of the partnership depends heavily on educational, cultural, and professional exchanges. He noted the growing expansion of Chinese-language education in Ghana and called for a reciprocal promotion of Ghanaian history and culture within China. The Ambassador emphasized that these exchanges among students and journalists are vital for overcoming language barriers and stereotypes, ensuring a balanced and informed mutual understanding that transcends mere trade and investment. These developments collectively underscore a pivotal moment for Ghanaian youth and education. The emergence of strong female leadership at one of the nation's premier universities, paired with rigorous civic training from the NCCE and expanding international educational horizons, suggests a robust future for the nation’s governance and diplomacy. As student leaders like Jude Michelle prepare to take office, the integration of ethical governance principles and a globalized perspective on cultural exchange will be essential in navigating the complexities of both local administration and international cooperation.

National Service Authority Sets August 14 Deadline for 2026/2027 PIN Code Applications

The National Service Authority (NSA) has officially announced August 14, 2026, as the final deadline for defaulters and private candidates to apply for personal identification (PIN) codes for the 2026/2027 national service year. This directive is specifically targeted at Ghanaian citizens who have completed their tertiary education but, for various reasons, failed to enroll in the mandatory National Service Programme in previous years. By setting this clear timeline, the Authority aims to streamline the registration process and ensure all eligible citizens are accounted for in the upcoming service cycle. The registration window is open to several distinct groups, including private candidates with certified academic credentials and Ghanaian citizens who pursued their studies at institutions abroad. Eligible applicants are required to complete an online registration process and submit all necessary documentation to the NSA before the mid-August cutoff. This registration phase is a critical precursor to the official deployment of service personnel across the country, as the PIN codes are essential for accessing the enrollment portal and securing placement in public and private sector organizations. This announcement comes under the regulatory framework of the National Service Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1119), which underscores the mandatory nature of national service for all qualified Ghanaian graduates. The NSA has emphasized that participating in the program is not merely a choice but a legal obligation required for professional advancement and employment within the Ghanaian workforce. As the institution continues to operate under its expanded mandate as an Authority, it is refining its administrative processes to better manage the growing number of graduates from both domestic and international universities. Prospective service personnel are urged to act promptly to avoid the last-minute rush or potential exclusion from the 2026/2027 service year. The NSA has advised all applicants to double-check their credentials and ensure that all information provided during the online registration is accurate to prevent delays in their deployment. Following the August 14 deadline, the Authority will shift its focus toward the final processing of applications and the subsequent placement phase, continuing its role in harnessing youth expertise for national development.

GETFund and UNESCO Partner to Drive AI and Digital Skills Integration in Ghana's TVET Sector

The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has entered into a strategic partnership with UNESCO to revolutionize Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) across the country. Through a recently signed Letter of Intent in Accra, the two organizations have committed to expanding artificial intelligence (AI) and digital literacy programs within vocational institutions. This initiative is designed to align Ghana’s educational output with the rapidly evolving demands of the global digital economy, ensuring that graduates are prepared for the modern workforce and the complexities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. GETFund Administrator Richard Kwasi Ofori Adjei underscored the urgency of this intervention, noting that the swift pace of industrial technology changes necessitates immediate action to equip the youth with relevant digital competencies and AI knowledge. The partnership focuses on several key pillars, including the modernization of educational infrastructure, the comprehensive updating of TVET curricula, and intensive capacity-building programs for educators. UNESCO’s Country Representative, Edmond Moukala, emphasized that the integration of AI must be both responsible and ethical, highlighting technology as a primary driver for innovation and effective career preparation in the classroom. Beyond technical instruction, the collaboration aims to create a more robust bridge between academic training and industry requirements. By providing students with enhanced career preparation and fostering an environment conducive to entrepreneurship, the initiative seeks to address youth unemployment and drive broader socio-economic development. Stakeholders believe that by embedding AI knowledge and advanced digital skills into the TVET sector, Ghana is positioning its next generation of professionals to lead in the digital era, ensuring they are competitive both locally and internationally.

Ghana High Commission Mandates Oath of Affirmation and Validation for Government-Sponsored Students in the UK

The Ghana High Commission in the United Kingdom has announced a mandatory Oath of Affirmation and Scholarship Validation Exercise for all students currently benefiting from government sponsorship. This month-long initiative, which runs from August 13 to September 4, 2026, follows a directive from the Ghana Scholarships Authority (GSA) aimed at reinforcing accountability and oversight of government scholarships. The exercise is designed to ensure that the distribution of public funds for international education remains transparent and that all beneficiaries are properly documented under the state's updated regulatory framework. Rooted in the Ghana Scholarships Authority Act of 2025 and the Oaths Act of 1972, the validation process requires students to personally appear before a designated officer at a Ghana diplomatic mission to swear an oath. To accommodate students across various regions of the United Kingdom, the High Commission has scheduled validation sessions at selected locations beyond the primary mission offices. Detailed information regarding specific venues and session times will be communicated directly to the sponsored students to facilitate their participation within the designated timeframe. The Ghana Scholarships Authority has emphasized that compliance with this exercise is essential for the continuation of financial support. Students who fail to participate or take the mandatory oath risk losing future scholarship benefits and may face immediate consequences, such as delays in the payment of tuition fees. This rigorous approach reflects a broader effort by the GSA to modernize the management of scholarship resources and ensure that the state's investment in human capital is strictly monitored and verified. As the September 4 deadline approaches, the High Commission is urging all government-sponsored scholars to prioritize these sessions to avoid any disruptions to their academic pursuits. This validation exercise represents a significant step in the government's commitment to fiscal responsibility and the structured administration of educational grants. By formalizing the relationship between the state and its scholars through a legal oath, the GSA aims to maintain a robust and verifiable system that supports the next generation of Ghanaian professionals studying abroad.

Ghana School of Law Opens Final One-Week Grace Period for 2026/27 Pre-Bar Admissions

The Ghana School of Law has officially opened a final one-week grace period for prospective students to finalize their applications for the 2026/2027 Pre-Bar Professional Law Course. This critical window, which commenced at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, August 5, 2026, is scheduled to close at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, August 11, 2026. This move provides a vital lifeline for eligible candidates who had previously initiated the application process but were unable to complete all necessary requirements by the original deadline. The institution clarified that this extension is specifically targeted at applicants who have already completed their application forms and uploaded the required documentation but failed to finalize their submissions or settle the mandatory application fees. To successfully utilize this window, candidates must ensure all stages of the admission process—including the payment of fees—are fully concluded before the August 11 cutoff. The School of Law emphasized that the online portal will be the primary medium for these regularizations, urging candidates to act swiftly to secure their eligibility for the upcoming academic year. Highlighting the importance of this final opportunity, the Ghana School of Law has issued a stern warning that no further extensions will be granted beyond the current August 11 deadline. This "final call" approach underscores the institution's commitment to adhering to its strict academic calendar while acknowledging the administrative challenges some applicants may have faced during the initial registration phase. For those encountering technical difficulties or requiring further clarification on the process, the school has directed all inquiries to its Admissions Office, encouraging proactive engagement to avoid last-minute complications. The Pre-Bar Professional Law Course is a pivotal step in legal education in Ghana, serving as a mandatory prerequisite for students aiming to enter the professional stage of their legal training. By offering this one-week regularization window, the Ghana School of Law aims to ensure that qualified candidates are not excluded due to minor administrative or financial delays. As the legal profession in Ghana continues to expand under the current administration, maintaining a transparent and accessible entry process remains a priority for the country's premier legal training institution.

Mr. Addo-Mensah expressed his commitment to giving back to his alma mater, noting that the project is a contribution toward preserving the school’s excellence for future generations. This project is a flagship implementation under the Ghana Education Trust Fund’s (GETFund) Education Financing and Partnership Initiative (EFPI). GETFund Administrator Paul Adjei emphasized during the ceremony that sustainable educational development is best achieved through such high-level collaborations between the state and the private sector. He noted that the EFPI is specifically designed to attract resources from alumni and corporate entities to modernize teaching and living facilities nationwide. Minister for Education Haruna Iddrisu also spoke at the event, reiterating the government’s commitment to increasing educational investment and supporting infrastructure expansion. The collaboration between Saka Homes and GETFund serves as a strategic model for addressing the infrastructure deficit in Ghana’s second-cycle institutions. By integrating private capital into the development of public school facilities, the initiative aims to create safe and modern learning environments that can keep pace with the country's growing educational needs. This milestone at Achimota School is expected to inspire other alumni groups and private developers to partner with the government in fostering long-term educational progress.

Among the standout performers were Abomosu STEM Senior High School, Oyoko Methodist SHS, and Yilo Krobo SHS, all of whom navigated high-pressure contests to ensure their regional representation. These victories mark a significant milestone for the qualifying institutions as they join the elite group of schools preparing to compete on the national stage. Abomosu STEM SHS clinched the final qualification spot for the region in a high-stakes encounter against Ghana Senior High School (GHANASS), Koforidua. Abomosu held a steady lead through the third round with 43 points to GHANASS’s 34, but a late-game surge by the Koforidua-based school brought the score to a 43-43 deadlock by the end of the final round. In a nail-biting tie-breaker, Abomosu STEM SHS correctly answered the deciding question to secure their ticket, while Mamfe Methodist Girls’ SHS exited the competition with 32 points after a spirited performance. In other regional action, Yilo Krobo SHS staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Presby Senior High Technical School, Aburi. Trailing at the halfway mark, Yilo Krobo surged in the latter stages of the contest to finish with an impressive 53 points against Aburi Presby’s 47. Although Aburi Presby SHS lost the automatic slot, their strong score keeps them in contention for a potential place as a top runner-up. Similarly, Oyoko Methodist SHS demonstrated academic prowess by dominating Contest 10, finishing first with 43 points. They outperformed Presby SHTS, Adukrom, and Kwahu Tafo SHS, while St. Paul’s SHS, Asakraka, managed to win the GOIL Riddle Bonanza despite their overall elimination from the tournament. With these results, the Eastern Region has finalized its primary contingent for the 2026 National Championship. Abomosu STEM SHS joins twelve other previously qualified schools from the region, bolstering the area's reputation for science and mathematics excellence. As the focus shifts toward the national stage, these schools will now undergo intensive preparations to face perennial heavyweights, aiming to bring the prestigious NSMQ trophy to the Eastern Region.

National Youth Authority and Religious Leaders Call for 'Moral Reset' to Combat Rising Student Indiscipline

National Youth Authority and Religious Leaders Call for 'Moral Reset' to Combat Rising Student Indiscipline

Ghanaian leaders across the youth development, sports, and religious sectors are sounding an urgent alarm over the erosion of traditional moral values and a surge in student indiscipline across educational institutions. Osman A. Ayariga, CEO of the National Youth Authority (NYA), and Samuel Anim Addo, a member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council, have both called for a national 'moral reset' to prioritize character formation alongside academic and technical skills. This collective concern comes as the nation grapples with rising school violence and the perceived negative influence of digital platforms on the younger generation. The consensus remains that academic success alone is insufficient to build a stable and prosperous nation without the foundation of integrity and discipline. Speaking at a Christian Council of Ghana event for National Youth Month, Ayariga emphasized that while digital literacy and technical skills are essential for the modern economy, they must be paired with integrity and patriotism. He warned that technology, when divorced from character, often fosters disrespect and violence, as evidenced by recent clashes among students. Ayariga urged churches, families, and the government to collaborate more closely, advocating for religious bodies to use their community influence to promote social responsibility and the safe use of social media among the youth. Supporting this, Rev. Cyril G.K. Fayose, General Secretary of the Christian Council, highlighted the importance of early training to help youth navigate the digital landscape safely. Complementing these concerns, Samuel Anim Addo has highlighted the decline in cultural norms such as respect for elders and community welfare. He noted that the diminishing culture of discipline is even affecting the quality of workmanship among young artisans, who he claims often lack the patience and mentorship required for excellence. Similarly, panellists at an inter-faith dialogue in Accra recently pointed to parental neglect and inadequate supervision by teachers as primary drivers of student misconduct. These discussants, including the Chief Imam and the President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference, suggested that addressing these issues requires a return to strong family values and enhanced character training within schools to replace what they describe as an 'erosion' of traditional guidance. To curb these trends, stakeholders are proposing a multifaceted approach that includes granting mission schools greater autonomy and re-evaluating school disciplinary measures. Recommendations also include re-strengthening teacher supervision and ensuring parents take a more active role in their children's moral upbringing rather than delegating guidance entirely to digital devices. By shifting the focus toward a more holistic development of the human person, proponents believe the nation can restore its social fabric. The call for a 'moral reset' serves as a directive for educators, religious leaders, and parents to unite in nurturing responsible, disciplined citizens who are equipped to lead Ghana through the challenges of the 21st century.
