Ghana’s Bold Plan to Transform STEM Education for Girls with Sustainable Tech Labs
On 11th November 2025, Ghana's Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, met with representatives from PAMEPI Women in Tech Ghana and AFIDE Ghana. The discussions centred on expanding digital infrastructure and improving access to technology across the country. Both organisations highlighted ongoing efforts to boost digital literacy, especially for girls in STEM fields.
During the meeting, AFIDE Ghana presented its ComputerLabs model. This initiative provides fully equipped, internet-ready computer laboratories, complete with maintenance support and teacher training. The model also includes a self-sustaining funding approach, using student tokens to keep operations running.
The discussions resulted in a shared commitment to expand digital access and improve STEM education for girls. The ComputerLabs model, with its sustainable funding approach, is now under consideration for wider adoption nationwide. Further steps will focus on developing a national framework to guide these efforts.
