Gov’t Urges Complementary Education Agency to Build Learner Database to Improve Planning and Funding
Deputy Minister for Education, Dr Clement Apaak, has called on the Complementary Education Agency to develop a comprehensive learner database to strengthen planning, improve service delivery, and attract more support from development partners.
Dr Apaak made the call in Accra during the presentation of computers and printers to Regional Directors of the Agency.
He said accurate data on learners would enable the Agency to make a stronger case for funding and ensure that resources intended for complementary education are properly directed to the institution.
According to him, without reliable data, it will be difficult to track progress, identify gaps, and demonstrate impact to both government and development partners.
The Deputy Minister also urged Regional Directors to prioritise the development of the database, describing it as critical to supporting the Agency’s mandate of providing literacy and skills training to out-of-school children, youth, and adults across the country.
Dr Apaak further assured the Agency that its Legislative Instrument [L.I.] would soon be passed to fully operationalise the law establishing the Complementary Education Agency.
He said the move reaffirms government’s commitment to strengthening the institution and giving it the legal backing needed to deliver effectively.
