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

May 22, 2025
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.”

Sunon Asogli Power Ghana Limited has restarted operations at its 560-megawatt power plant following emergency funding from the government.

The plant, which had been shut down due to financial challenges, resumed operations on Monday, November 25, 2024, at 3 PM.

In a press statement, the company extended its appreciation to Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adam and Energy Minister Herbert Krapa for securing the funds needed to resolve the plant’s financial difficulties.

The company also acknowledged the Vice President for his pivotal role in ensuring the payments necessary for the plant’s return to service.

“We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Minister for Finance, Mohammed Amin Adam, and the Minister for Energy, Herbert Krapa, for their intervention to release emergency funding to address our critical financial need,” the statement read.

“We would like to commend H.E. the Vice President for his intervention in ensuring the payment to us for our return to operation.”

Sunon Asogli revealed that it submitted the final version of its Restructuring Terms Sheet to the Ministry of Finance and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in August 2024. The company expressed optimism that the terms would soon be finalized and signed to promote stability and reliability in Ghana’s energy sector.

The company also stressed the importance of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) honoring the terms of the existing Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and fulfilling its financial obligations.

Additionally, Sunon Asogli apologized for the inconvenience caused by its recent shutdown, which disrupted power supply in some parts of the country.

“We deeply regret the impact of our shutdown,” the statement further noted reaffirming the company’s commitment to maintaining steady operations going forward.

The 560MW power plant’s resumption of operations is anticipated to improve electricity supply across the country and ease the burden on the national grid.
