The Ministry of Education is set to introduce Subject-Specific Artificial Intelligence (AI) Apps in Senior High Schools across the country to improve teaching and learning while protecting Ghana’s ethical and cultural values.
According to the Ministry, the initiative will support more than 68,000 teachers in delivering lessons to over 1.4 million students.
The Apps are expected to help teachers plan lessons, prepare assessments, and ensure alignment with national standards.
The Ministry explained that the Apps were co-created by the Ghana Education Service (GES), the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), the National Teaching Council (NTC), the National School Inspectorate Authority (NaSIA), and the Centre for National Distance Learning and Open Schooling (CENDLOS), in partnership with Playlab AI.
They stated that support also came from Transforming Teaching, Education and Learning (T-TEL) and the Mastercard Foundation.
The ministry disclosed that the Apps were built on Ghana’s curriculum materials, including teacher manuals, learner resources, and frameworks on national values, gender equality, and social inclusion.
According to the ministry, they are being introduced through weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) sessions organized by GES in all 712 Senior High Schools. These sessions will allow teachers to test the Apps, collaborate, and provide feedback to improve the tools.
The Ministry explained that a four-stage testing process had been outlined by NaCCA. This includes reviewing the technical accuracy of the content, assessing educational quality, checking user experience in pilot schools, and conducting regional testing before nationwide rollout.
They added that training for more than 7,800 school-based facilitators will begin ahead of the full rollout in October 2025.
The Ministry stressed its commitment to making sure the use of AI in education is locally led, ethically grounded, and focused on empowering teachers to improve learning outcomes for all students.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
