Education Ministry introduces AI-powered subject Apps for SHSs
The Ministry of Education has announced the rollout of Subject-Specific Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for Senior High Schools (SHS) across the country to improve the teaching and learning of the new SHS curriculum.
The initiative, which is expected to support more than 68,000 teachers in delivering lessons to over 1.4 million learners, is aimed at enhancing education delivery without compromising Ghana’s ethical and cultural values.
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).
The design also received input from Playlab AI, with support from Transforming Teaching, Education, and Learning (T-TEL) and the Mastercard Foundation.
In a statement issued on October 1, the Ministry stated that the apps are built on Ghana’s curriculum materials, including teacher manuals, learner resources, and frameworks that promote national values, gender equality, and social inclusion.
According to the Ministry, the Apps are designed to help teachers plan lessons and conduct assessments more efficiently while providing learners with interactive and tailored resources.
The statement said the introduction of the AI-based subject apps will play a critical role in strengthening curriculum delivery, bridging gaps in teaching, and equipping both teachers and students with innovative tools to achieve quality learning outcomesSource:Leticia Osei
