The Minister for Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum is set to attend this year’s Ministerial Forum on Education innovation for Resilient and Inclusive Learning in Africa scheduled for 10th - 11th July in Abuja, Nigeria.

“Education innovation for Resilient and Inclusive Learning in Africa” is the theme for the forum which is in line with the African Union’s year of education.

The forum will bring together Education and ICT Ministers from 20 African countries and education innovation experts to deliberate on actions that harness the power of innovation to deliver resilient education innovation systems in Africa that drive learning for all.

The 2024 Ministerial Forum will be preceded by the inaugural Mastercard Foundation EdTech Conference which will take place from 8th - 10th July 2024.

The conference will convene technical participants such as policymakers, EdTech innovators, experts, development organizations and learners to explore the state of EdTech in Africa and opportunities to strengthen innovation-enabled education.

Dr. Adutwum will be attending the forum with other experts from the Ministry and the expectation is that their recommendations will be discussed and integrated into the final document that will be put together after the forum.
