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

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.”

Betway launches Innovative 12th Man Programme
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Leading online sports betting company, Betway, revealed an exciting initiative in partnership with Ghanaian football legend, Stephen Appiah, titled the Betway 12th Man campaign at last night’s launch event at the Alisa Swiss Spirit Hotel in Accra.

The sports development initiative – specifically targeted at ex-football professionals – is a unique concept created by the betting brand with an aim to touch the lives of local communities.

Appropriately titled in football terms as the “12th Man”, the Betway-sponsored initiative will see 10 ex-footballers (male and female) embarking on a life-changing four-month journey which will see them graduate with a variety of skills and qualifications to increase their chances of employment. During this period, Betway alongside the programme’s ambassador, Stephen Appiah, will invite various industry experts from the fields of coaching, broadcast, finance, and event management to give the former players practical skills that they can use in their communities.

Speaking at the launch of the programme on Wednesday evening, Betway Ghana’s Country Manager (Marketing), Kwabena Oppong-Nkrumah said the brand was excited about launching such a life-changing initiative.

“We are excited to be launching such a powerful programme. Betway takes pride in making a meaningful difference in Ghanaian communities. Through the 12th Man programme, we look forward to honouring and upskilling our former football heroes who have done so much for the country,” Kwabena Oppong-Nkrumah said.  

The four-month programme which is set to get underway from 26 February will see the former players kicking off the 12th Man campaign with a Skills Acquisition Course. Upon completion of the skills acquisition course, the players will have an opportunity to further upskill themselves through certified courses organized by the Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) and Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).

The former stars will then go on to complete a Club Administration and Project Management course that will reveal some of the behind-the-scenes planning that comes with running a professional club.  

Betway 12th Man ambassador, Stephen Appiah, said the initiative was dear to his heart, considering how a number of his former teammates have unfortunately been forgotten – even after their memorable contributions towards Ghana football.

“As a former footballer, I am honoured to lead such a life changing programme. I see many of my friends I shared dressing rooms and cracked jokes with go through very difficult times.”

“I believe the Betway 12th Man is such an important initiative to give back to these legends who have invested so much in the game. Our football is where it is today because of the time and effort they gave and I have to applaud Betway for recognising and upskilling them in such an impactful manner,” Appiah said.

The former players who will be part of the Betway 12th Man are:

  • Yaw Amankwah Mireku-  Accra Hearts Of Oak SC, Viva Karela
  • Abass Hamdia – Black Queens (World Cup Squad)
  • Adwoa Bayor – Black Queens, Ghatel Ladies, FC Indiana
  • Ali Jarrah-  Accra Hearts Of Oak, Ghana U17
  • Lydia Ankrah – Black Queens, Post Ladies
  • Awudu Issaka Anderlecht-  1860 Munich II, Liberty Professionals FC
  • Dan Quaye – Accra Hearts Of Oak, Chongqing Lifan, Beijing Baxy
  • Isaac Amoako-  Asante Kotoko SC, Dreams F.C.
  • Patrick Villars – Cape Coast Ebusua Dwarfs, Trabzonspor, Qingdao Hailifeng
  • Peter Ofori-Quaye – Kalamata, Olympiacos, Accra Hearts Of Oak
