Dr. Yaw Adutwum calls for greater investment in Basic STEM Education

NPP launched Basic STEM Program to train future leaders from early childhood – Dr. Adutwum

The former Minister of Education and Member of Parliament for the Bosomtwe Constituency, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has stressed that education should not merely focus on children attending school, but more importantly, on what they are learning and what they become as a result of that learning. Speaking on the Epa Hoa Daben show with Bismark Brown on Happy 98.9 FM, Dr. Adutwum highlighted that improving a country's education system requires more than ensuring enrollment, the real emphasis should be on the content taught and its impact on students. He advocated for the implementation of effective educational content and modern teaching approaches to transform the sector. He specifically referenced New Bloom’s Taxonomy, a framework that guides educators on how to teach for deeper understanding and application, rather than rote memorization. Dr. Adutwum explained that Bloom's Taxonomy consists of six hierarchical levels: Remember, where students recall basic facts; Understand, where they explain concepts; Apply, where they use knowledge in new situations; followed by Analyze, Evaluate, and Create where students develop critical thinking, assess ideas, and produce original work. He criticized the over-reliance on rote learning or "chew and pour" in Ghana’s educational system, noting that while countries like the United States focus on higher-order thinking skills like analyzing, evaluating, and creating, Ghana tends to prioritize only remembering, understanding, and applying. Reflecting on his tenure as Minister of Education, Dr. Adutwum recalled introducing curriculum reforms based on Bloom's Taxonomy about four years ago. The first batch of students under the new curriculum was expected to write their BECE in the previous year. However, upon reviewing WAEC’s examination questions, he realized they were not aligned with the new framework. He urged the examination body to adapt accordingly, describing the misalignment as “a clear case where the tail is wagging the dog.” Dr. Adutwum asserted that teaching, learning, and assessment must be designed to broaden students' thinking not just to pass exams, but to prepare them for real-life challenges. He warned that an Education Minister unaware of this fundamental principle risks overseeing what he described as “education to nowhere.”

The Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA) has unveiled an ambitious set of development projections as part of its 2026–2029 Medium-Term Development Plan, with a strong focus on infrastructure, social protection, and local economic growth.

Addressing stakeholders at a public hearing held at Calvary Baptist Church in Adabraka on Wednesday, May 21, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Alfred Ato Allotey Gaisie outlined key performance targets the Assembly intends to achieve within the period.

He announced a projected 65% increase in Internally Generated Funds (IGF), to be realized through the automation of revenue systems and enhanced compliance measures.

In the area of sanitation, the Assembly aims to improve environmental management by 90%, a significant step toward addressing health and hygiene concerns in the municipality. The plan also prioritizes urban planning, with the Assembly committing to complete 80% of revised land use planning schemes.

Mr. Gaisie stated that social infrastructure will see a 50% improvement, particularly in education, healthcare, and water supply. Market infrastructure is expected to improve by 55%, while road networks are projected to see a 95% enhancement. In a clear sign of the Assembly’s commitment to inclusivity, he assured that 100% of funds earmarked for Persons With Disability (PWDs) will be disbursed.

The Assembly also intends to increase protection for children and vulnerable groups, while reinforcing security measures in schools and communities to promote safety and stability. A major highlight of the development agenda is the implementation of the Greater Accra Resilient Integrated Development (GARID) Project, aimed at addressing long-standing flooding challenges in the area.

The MCE emphasized the Assembly’s ongoing support for critical national initiatives such as the 24-hour economy, the National Apprenticeship Programme, and the Adwumawura Programme.

He described the development targets as both bold and achievable, noting that they reflect the Assembly’s commitment to inclusive growth, resilience, and improved service delivery for all residents.
