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.”

Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC) continues to drive impact in the agricultural sector by empowering young people and smallholder farmers through strategic partnerships. One such collaboration is with Premier Poultry Limited, a Kumasi-based agribusiness that works across the country to improve employment and nutrition through poultry farming.

Premier Poultry Limited is a trusted local partner of KIC, dedicated to creating sustainable income opportunities for young people. The company specializes in brooding day-old chicks for six weeks before selling them to smallholder farmers for rearing.

This initiative not only provides young entrepreneurs with hands-on training in poultry management but also ensures that small-scale farmers have access to high-quality birds, leading to increased income and improved household nutrition.

Through this partnership, KIC and Premier Poultry Limited are contributing to job creation and enhancing food security in Ghana. By equipping young people with the necessary skills to engage in poultry farming, they are positioned to build sustainable businesses and boost local economies.

One of the beneficiaries, Abena Owusu, shared her experience: “Thanks to the support from KIC, its partners, and Premier Poultry, I have been able to start my own poultry business. I now have a steady income and can support my family better.”

Speaking about the importance of the collaboration, Mr. Benjamin Gyan-Kesse, Executive Director for KIC highlighted the importance of poultry in driving agricultural growth in Ghana.
“This initiative aligns with KIC’s mission to transform agribusiness through capacity-building and strategic partnerships. By working with innovative businesses like Premier Poultry Limited, KIC continues to make a lasting impact on Ghana’s agricultural landscape, ensuring that young entrepreneurs and smallholder farmers have the resources and opportunities to thrive,” he said.

As KIC expands its reach, partnerships like this will remain crucial in fostering sustainable agribusiness development, reducing youth unemployment, and improving nutrition across communities. The success of this initiative with Premier Poultry Limited is a testament to the power of collaboration in driving positive change in the agricultural sector.

Under similar collaborations, KIC is partnering with other local organisations to provide employment opportunities for many young people. This is part of KIC’s implementation of the Initiative for Youth in Agricultural Transformation (IYAT) program in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation.

Under the IYAT program, KIC and the Mastercard Foundation seek to promote decent employment and dignified livelihoods for young people in the agricultural sector through innovation and entrepreneurship
