The Minister of Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has announced that a 22-year-old medical doctor, who graduated from the Cape Coast University in 2023, has been made a motivator for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in the country.

He explained that the young doctor would soon be supported to go around pre-tertiary institutions across the country to motivate students to take their studies seriously after sharing his personal experiences in school with them.

Dr Adutwum announced this when the 22-year-old Dr Kwaku Boakye Gyamfi and his parents paid a courtesy call on him in Accra recently.

In his welcome remarks, Dr Adutwum praised the young doctor for taking his studies seriously leading to the attainment of such a feat and urged him to remain focused as he prepared to begin his housemanship at the 37 Military Hospital soon.

Besides, he eulogised the parents for their support towards his education which has led to how far he has come.

The Education Minister said, “Your story is worthy of emulation by the youth; you have a good story to share to motivate other youths to study hard irrespective of their course of study.”

He indicated that the feat chalked up by the young medical doctor attested to the fact that a lot was going on in the educational sector of the country. He, therefore, pledged to continue to work very hard to help transform the nation through education.
