Ghana to host 2025 ADEA triennial on education

Ghana has been chosen to host the 2025 Triennale on Education and Training of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA).

The Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) is part of the most leading platforms for the discussion of policy  in Africa which  attracts leaders and stakeholders to share best practices, new ideas and proven approaches for improving education across the continent.

Over 350 participants are expected to attend the conference, which is set to take place from October  29 to 30, including more than 30 African ministers of education and key stakeholders from international development partners such as the  the Mastercard foundation, World Bank, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the African Development Bank and the Gates Foundation and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).

Senior policymakers are  also expected to attend including education specialist, researchers and academics, who will also  share their knowledge and evidence on transformative ideas that will help change the education systems across Africa.

The chosen theme for the event is: “Strengthening the resilience of Africa’s educational systems: Advancing towards ending learning poverty by 2035, with a well-educated and skilled workforce for the continent and beyond.”

The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, said the event would provide an important opportunity for Africa to evaluate strategies for enhancing foundational learning during the time he was making the announcement in Accra last Tuesday. He also said this will help in leveraging technology and data to improve learning outcomes and advancing technical and higher education.

He emphasised that the country was focused on establishing its role as a leader in educational innovation and reform, and would utilize the platform to demonstrate the nation’s growth in improving access for educational facilities and the performance of students.

As per Mr Haruna Iddrisu, “The Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Triennale would promote collaborative learning, building of partnership and knowledge exchange among African countries and global education actors.”

Mr Haruna Iddrisu stated that “The event will provide an opportunity for participants to form partnerships that will accelerate learning outcomes for millions of African children and commit to concrete actions.”

He added that the country, the support from World Bank and the Global Partnership for Education had made significant progress in bringing down the number of non-school going children and would collaborate by sharing success stories with the partners in Africa
