The Deputy Minister for Education, Clement Apaak, has launched a nationwide e-learning platform linking all Colleges of Education to enhance digital teacher training across the country.
The platform, unveiled in Accra, connects all 46 Colleges of Education through a unified digital system designed to improve access to learning, promote collaboration, and strengthen the quality of teacher preparation.
Describing the initiative as a major shift in the education sector, Dr Apaak said it represents a broader transformation in how teachers are trained in Ghana.
“Today marks more than the launch of a digital platform. It marks a decisive step in our journey to transform teacher education in Ghana,” Dr Apaak stated.
He explained that the platform forms part of the government’s wider digital transformation agenda and supports the education reset policy under President John Dramani Mahama.
According to him, teacher training must evolve to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world driven by technology.
“In the 21st century, that preparation must be digital, dynamic, and data driven,” he added.
The platform is expected to improve the delivery of teacher education by enabling access to digital resources, virtual learning, and real-time collaboration among trainees and tutors across institutions.
Officials say the initiative will also help standardise training across Colleges of Education and better prepare future teachers with the skills needed for modern classrooms.
