Government will construct 30 Smart Schools this year – Akufo-Addo announces

President Akufo-Addo has announced plans to construct at least thirty SMART schools across Ghana by the year’s end as part of the Ghana Smart Schools project.

This initiative is aimed at enhancing senior high school education by providing teaching and learning management systems, digital learning content, and electronic devices to all senior high and TVET schools nationwide.

Aligned with the Ministry of Education’s digitalisation agenda for pre-tertiary education, the project underscores the government’s commitment to leveraging technological advancements to equip Ghanaian students for the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution.

Addressing attendees at the official launch of the Ghana Smart Schools project in Accra, President Akufo-Addo emphasised that these schools will operate independently of the national electricity grid, boasting digitalized infrastructure to advance teaching methodologies.

“The other component of the Ghana Smart Schools project is the provision of infrastructure. The government intends to build 100 Smart Schools across the country.”

“And for the avoidance of doubt, it is planned that the 100 Smart Schools will be located in the following cities and towns in all the 16 regions,” President Akufo-Addo said.
