The Center for National Distance and Open Education (CENDLOS) of the Ministry of Education has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ghanaian technology company, Bountiful Technologies Co. Ltd. for collaboration to enhance EdTech education in the country.
The collaboration focuses on four main objectives, namely, Developing Skills in STEM, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science and Reading Education.
It aims to transform STEM and literacy education across Ghana.
The MoU’s first objective emphasizes building capacity for teachers and students in critical areas such as STEM, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), computer science and reading literacy through the Science of Reading initiative using Reading Horizons.
Bountiful Technologies will implement comprehensive training programs designed to equip educators with the necessary skills to effectively teach these subjects while inspiring students to engage more deeply with STEM and technology.
The second goal focuses on creating high-quality digital content tailored for both online and in-person education. Bountiful Technologies aims to develop engaging STEM educational materials that will not only enhance the educational experience but also promote STEM publicity across various platforms. This initiative will ensure that students have access to interactive resources that stimulate their interest and understanding of complex topics.
Using cutting-edge technology, the partnership seeks to make STEM education more accessible to students across Ghana, regardless of their geographic location. This approach will help bridge the educational gap and foster a culture of innovation and creativity among young learners.
To support effective learning outcomes, the partnership will also focus on providing innovative assessment tools and learning platforms. These resources will allow teachers to monitor student progress and adjust their teaching strategies to meet individual learning needs. The goal is to create a more personalized learning environment that accommodates different learning styles and paces.
Executive Director of CENDLOS, Nana Gyamfi Adwabour and Co-founder of Bountiful Technologies, Seth Ogoe Ayim signed for their respective organizations.
Mr. Ayim emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating: “Robotics and artificial intelligence are not just about building machines, but about empowering minds to innovate, solve problems and shape a future where technology serves humanity with wisdom and compassion.”
For the CENDLOS boss, the possibilities offered by the agreement to shape a brighter future for the country’s youth are exciting. “This partnership is a testament to the commitment of both parties to create a brighter future for students and educators,” said Nana Gyamfi Adwabour.
The implementation of these assessment tools is expected to improve the overall quality of education by enabling teachers to identify areas where students may need additional support and ensuring that all learners can reach their full potential.
The MoU describes the development of an integrated STEM and ICT curriculum based on the VEX curriculum framework. This curriculum will emphasize hands-on learning and real-world applications, preparing students for future careers in technology and engineering. By adopting the VEX curriculum, Bountiful Technologies and CENDLOS aim to create a curriculum that not only covers theoretical knowledge but also promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on engagement.
To ensure the sustainability and success of this partnership, CENDLOS has committed resources and funding from the government, donors, partners and the Ministry of Education. These funds will be used to expand access to STEM education, particularly in underserved and rural communities. The partnership will also actively seek grant opportunities to further support its initiatives and reach a wider audience.
