Mandate and Terms of Reference

The committee has been entrusted with a comprehensive set of responsibilities to ensure the successful execution of the National Education Forum. 

Their key tasks include: developing a theme and sub-themes to guide stakeholder engagements and identifying and engaging key stakeholders such as students, parents, teachers (both pre-tertiary and tertiary, including the private sector), researchers, civil society organisations, development partners, religious bodies, political parties, Ghanaian educationists in the diaspora, chiefs, heads of educational institutions, and the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education.

It is also tasked with designing a stakeholder activity agenda with structured time allocations for thematic breakout sessions, plenary discussions, and policy dialogues and proposing a suitable venue and date for the forum.

The committee is further tasked with establishing a dedicated secretariat to document all activities and discussions and developing a budget for the successful execution of the National Education Forum.

Other mandates of the committee include producing a detailed report, outlining the findings and recommendations emanating from the Forum and proposing an action plan to implement the Forum’s recommendations within three weeks post-forum.

Finally, the committee is required to address any other issues that may arise in the course of planning and executing the Forum.

The National Education Forum is set to be a landmark event in Ghana’s educational reform efforts, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders to deliberate on key issues affecting the sector. 

With the growing concerns over quality assurance, curriculum relevance, teacher training, and education financing, this forum presents a critical opportunity for robust policy interventions and practical solutions. 

The outcomes of this forum are expected to directly shape Ghana’s educational policies in the coming years, ensuring that reforms are data-driven, inclusive, and aligned with both national development goals and global education standards.

President Mahama’s decision to establish this committee reaffirms his administration’s dedication to revitalizing Ghana’s education sector.
