Education Minister Welcomes STEM Mini Lab Project Idea

The Minister for Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, has welcomed the introduction of an innovative STEM technology, describing it as a practical solution that can simplify teaching and improve learning outcomes in schools.

The Minister made the remarks during a presentation by 3S Technology, in partnership with Coderina EdTech, on the STEM Education Mini Lab Project.

The initiative is designed to enhance practical Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning in schools across the country.

The project, known as the Adwenpa Project, brings together more than 40 STEM learning modules that align with the Ghana Education curriculum.

The modules are housed in a self-contained Mini Lab and are designed to support practical STEM education for learners from Primary Four to Junior High School (JHS) Form Three.

Hon. Haruna Iddrisu noted that the innovation has the potential to make the teaching and learning of STEM subjects easier and more engaging by enabling learners to experience scientific concepts in a practical way rather than relying solely on theory.

To advance the initiative, the Minister tasked the Director of STEM Education at the Ghana Education Service (GES), Madam Olivia Serwaa Opare, and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Centre for Distance Learning and Open Schooling (CENDLOS), Dr Diyawu Mumin, to work with the developers of the project.

Their assignment is to compare existing STEM learning resources with the proposed Mini Lab Project.
