The Ministry of Education has announced plans to introduce subject-specific Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in Senior High Schools (SHSs) to support the effective delivery of the new SHS curriculum.
The initiative is aimed at improving teaching and learning outcomes while safeguarding Ghana’s ethical and cultural values.
According to the Ministry in a statement issued on October 1, the apps have been co-created by the Ghana Education Service (GES), the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), the National Teaching Council (NTC), the National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NaSIA), and the Centre for National Distance Learning and Open Schooling (CENDLOS), in partnership with Playlab AI.
The initiative also received support from Transforming Teaching, Education & Learning (T-TEL) and the Mastercard Foundation.
The AI tools, built on Ghana’s own curriculum materials such as teacher manuals, learner resources, and frameworks for national values, gender equality, and social inclusion, are expected to assist over 68,000 teachers in lesson planning and assessment for more than 1.4 million learners.
The Ministry noted that to ensure relevance and effectiveness, the apps are being piloted through weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) sessions in all 712 SHSs, providing teachers with the opportunity to test the tools, collaborate, and share feedback.
It said the rollout will also follow a four-phase testing process covering technical accuracy, educational quality, user experience, and regional testing.
The statement said a nationwide training for over 7,800 school-based facilitators is scheduled for October 2025, ahead of the broader implementation.
The Ministry added that the initiative is designed to complement, not replace, teacher expertise, stressing its commitment to ensuring AI integration in education remains locally led, ethically grounded, and teacher-focused.
