Maurya Education relaunches key programmes to promote innovative learning in Ghana
Maurya Education, an educational and technology development company operating primarily in West Africa with its headquarters in Accra has relaunched its flagship educational programmes, STEMROBO, UCMAS and MACS Connect, as part of efforts to promote innovative learning and equip learners with skills needed for the 21st century.
The relaunch, held at the GNAT Hall in Accra on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, brought together school leaders, educators, policymakers, parents, development partners and other stakeholders under the theme, “Education Beyond Boundaries: Inspiring Excellence Through Innovation.”
Speaking to journalists, the Director of Maurya Group, Mr. Girish Gurbani, announced the launch of the Maurya Learning Ability Profile Report (MLAP), a new assessment tool designed to identify the natural talents and abilities of learners.
He explained that the report would help children discover their strengths, guide them in choosing suitable career paths and enable teachers to better understand how students learn.
According to him, the assessment can be used by individuals of all ages and would provide valuable insights to support personal growth and development.
Mr. Gurbani said schools that partner with Maurya Education had shown strong interest in the programme, noting that some institutions were considering extending it to teachers, staff and family members.
He expressed optimism about the initiative, stating that it had the potential to transform the way children are taught and nurtured.
Touching on UCMAS, he said the programme had made a significant impact on children’s academic performance and overall development over the years.
He revealed that UCMAS would celebrate its 20th anniversary in Ghana next year, describing the programme as one that has stood the test of time because of its positive impact on learners.
Mr. Gurbani disclosed that Maurya Education continues to engage government agencies to expand access to its educational programmes, adding that successive governments had been supportive of initiatives such as UCMAS, STEMROBO and the newly launched MLAP.
The Sales and Marketing Manager of Maurya Education, Mr. Stephen Ofori, said the stakeholder engagement was organised to bring together key players in the education sector to discuss innovative approaches that could improve learning outcomes.
He stressed that education should be engaging, creative and enjoyable, providing opportunities for children to develop their full potential.
Mr. Ofori explained that the newly launched MLAP uses dermatoglyphics-based analysis to help identify a child’s innate talents and abilities.
He noted that Maurya Education offers a wide range of educational solutions, including STEMROBO programmes that integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics into classroom learning.
According to him, the event also served as an opportunity to relaunch existing programmes while introducing new initiatives and engaging stakeholders on issues affecting education.
Commenting on Ghana’s education sector, Mr. Ofori said the future was promising but emphasised the need for parents and stakeholders to have access to accurate information when making educational decisions for children.
He disclosed that Maurya Education plans to expand its programmes across the country through direct engagement with schools and communities.
As part of this effort, he said similar stakeholder engagements would be held in Kumasi and Tamale to reach more schools and parents.
Mr. Ofori encouraged parents, schools and other stakeholders to embrace the opportunities offered by Maurya Education, describing the company as a one-stop provider of educational, skills development and technology solutions aimed at improving learning outcomes.

Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, has toured a leading solar energy facility in Canada following the submission of a Letter of Intent and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for a proposed 270MW solar power project in his constituency.
The MP was invited to Canada to inspect the operations and technology behind AKA Energy Systems, the company partnering with the Gomoa Special Economic Zone to develop the landmark renewable energy facility.
During the tour, Mr. Obeng was taken through the company’s advanced solar infrastructure, engineering processes, and long-term energy management systems.
Senior officials of AKA Energy Systems provided insights into how the technology can be adapted to meet Ghana’s power needs while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
“This project is not just about megawatts. It’s about energy security, industrialization, and jobs for the people of Gomoa Central,” Mr. Obeng said after the facility visit.
He added that “Seeing the technology firsthand confirms that solar can be a real solution for powering factories and homes reliably.”
The 270MW solar plant forms the energy backbone of the Gomoa Special Economic Zone, a project the MP says will position the area as a competitive hub for manufacturing and exports under the African Continental Free Trade Area, AfCFTA.
According to Mr. Obeng, Africa’s industrial future hinges on solving the power problem first.
“Too many countries try to attract factories before fixing energy. We are determined not to put the cart before the horse. Before industries arrive, the power must already be here,” he explained.
He noted that the partnership with AKA Energy Systems reflects a deliberate shift toward clean, affordable, and sustainable energy to drive Ghana’s next phase of growth.
The MP added that the project will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs during construction and operation, while also lowering electricity costs for businesses within the zone.
“The future belongs to those who prepare for it. With abundant, reliable, and affordable energy, Gomoa Central can become one of the most attractive industrial destinations in West Africa,” he concluded.
Negotiations on the final investment and implementation timeline for the 270MW facility are expected to continue in the coming months.

The Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Elikplim Akurugu, in partnership with the Ga East Municipal Assembly, has begun rehabilitation works on the road leading to the Ga East Municipal Hospital to improve access and ease movement for residents and patients.
Speaking on the project, the DRIP Coordinator for the Ga East Municipal Assembly, Seth Agboyie, said the team had already worked on the Kwabenya stretch and part of Ablaje under its road reshaping programme.
He explained that although work had to be paused at Ablaje due to pressure, the team returned to complete the current stretch.
He noted that last year, the assembly implemented a programme where teams moved into each electoral area for about ten days to reshape major roads before moving to other communities.
According to him, the current works are a special intervention targeting roads that have become severely damaged due to the rains.
Mr. Agboyie added that the project had faced some delays due to heavy rainfall but resumed when the weather improved.
He said the team is working on a 1.2-kilometre stretch, with about 720 to 730 metres already completed.
He revealed that the intervention was partly supported by a GHS 14,000 contribution from the health workers at the Ga East hospital, which helped facilitate the works.
Residents of Dome-Kwabenya welcomed the project and praised the MP for initiating the road rehabilitation.
They said the intervention was timely and would ease movement, especially for patients and residents who rely on the road to access the hospital.
They noted that the road leading to the hospital had been in a poor state for several years, making it difficult and uncomfortable for patients, drivers, and residents who use the facility.
They explained that the situation often caused delays in accessing healthcare and increased transport difficulties, especially during the rainy season.
Some residents, however, urged contractors to ensure quality work, warning that poorly executed roads often deteriorate quickly.
They called for durability in the construction to prevent a return to bad conditions.
Others also appealed for more development projects across the constituency, saying additional road improvements would further enhance living conditions and demonstrate continued commitment to the area.
