HOTCATT and ABE Launch International Tourism and Hospitality Certification to Boost Ghana’s Global Competitiveness

The Hotel Catering and Tourism Training Institute (HOTCATT), in collaboration with the UK-based Association of Business Executives (ABE), has officially launched a landmark partnership to provide internationally recognized qualifications in tourism and hospitality. The initiative, unveiled in Accra on August 6, 2026, aims to bridge the professional skills gap in Ghana's tourism sector by offering a UK-accredited Diploma in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality. Supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the program is designed to equip Ghanaian youth with the tools necessary to thrive in a globally competitive market, with qualifications recognized in over 70 countries. Speaking at the launch, the Deputy Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Yussif Issaka Jajah, emphasized that Ghana’s success as a tourism hub will depend heavily on service quality and hospitality standards rather than just the country's natural and historical attractions. Representing Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Jajah noted that tourism remains a top priority under the administration of President John Mahama. He highlighted that the certification program is a strategic move to reduce youth unemployment and ensure that service delivery in the hospitality sector meets evolving international expectations. The curriculum, developed through the HOTCATT-ABE partnership, will cover essential operational areas including food service, event management, and customer relations. Enrollment is currently open to a broad range of applicants, including those with WASSCE, Diploma, or Degree certificates, as well as industry professionals with at least three years of relevant experience. The first cohort of students is scheduled to begin classes in October 2026. This collaborative effort also involves plans for future partnerships with local hotels and tourism facilities to provide students with practical, hands-on training environments. Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, underscored the importance of shifting public perception regarding careers in the tourism industry. He argued that professionalizing the workforce through globally recognized qualifications is essential for improving Ghana's reputation on the world stage. By addressing training deficiencies among frontline workers, the initiative seeks to create a new standard of excellence in Ghanaian hospitality, ultimately positioning the nation as a premier destination for international travelers.

WAEC Defends BECE Marking Integrity as Private Schools Demand Independent Audit Over Bias Allegations

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has strongly rejected allegations of bias and unfair marking brought by private school associations following the release of the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results. Organizations such as the Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) and the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) have raised concerns over a perceived disparity between students' continuous assessment scores and their final examination grades. They argue that these inconsistencies could unfairly disadvantage private school candidates during the highly competitive Senior High School (SHS) placement process. In response, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, emphasized that the Council employs a uniform marking scheme and a stanine grading system that treats all candidates as a single cohort, regardless of whether they attend public or private institutions. Despite WAEC's assurances, GNACOPS has announced plans to present a formal petition to the Ministry of Education on August 7, 2026, calling for an independent review of the results. The association is advocating for greater transparency and accountability, suggesting that an independent audit would restore public confidence in the assessment system. While John Kapi stated that WAEC is open to a professional independent audit and will process individual requests for remarking through established channels, he explicitly rejected the idea of allowing private school associations to conduct their own direct scrutiny of candidate scripts. Meanwhile, education advocacy group Eduwatch has used the controversy to reiterate its call for an independent regulator to oversee assessment bodies, ensuring a more transparent appeals process for the future. Adding a different perspective to the discourse, the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has appealed for calm among parents, candidates, and educational stakeholders. GNAT General Secretary Thomas Tanko Musah cautioned against hasty condemnations of WAEC, urging dissatisfied parties to use formal petitioning processes rather than spreading unverified claims. Musah also highlighted the potential psychological impact on students, warning that high-stakes pressure and adult speculation regarding the results could lead to serious emotional distress for the children involved. He encouraged a measured, supportive response to protect the well-being of the graduates while they navigate their next academic steps. Amidst the marking controversy, a record 620,000 BECE graduates are currently participating in a revised Senior High School selection process. Under new guidelines introduced by the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES), students now select their preferred second-cycle schools after receiving their results. This policy shift is intended to help students and parents make more informed choices based on actual performance, reducing the likelihood of students with lower grades being displaced from oversubscribed Category A schools. As the selection process concludes, the Ministry and WAEC remain under pressure to maintain the credibility of the transition system while addressing the grievances of the private education sector.

Education Ministry and GES Condemn Mob Attack on Obuasi SHTS Headmaster Over Ritual Rumors

The Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) have launched a full-scale investigation into a violent assault on Mr. Abdulai Zakaria, the Headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS). On August 5, a mob of students physically attacked Mr. Zakaria and vandalized his private property, including his vehicle, leaving him with multiple injuries. The headmaster was subsequently rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for treatment. The Ministry has condemned the actions as criminal and unacceptable, with Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu directing the GES to ensure that rigorous disciplinary measures are taken against those responsible. The unrest reportedly stemmed from unfounded allegations of ritualistic activities after students claimed to have discovered a buried baby on the school premises. This discovery triggered a violent reaction among the student body, necessitating immediate police intervention to restore order. Six students have since been arrested and are currently assisting the police with investigations to identify other participants in the riot. GES Public Relations Head, Daniel Fenyi, emphasized that violence has no place in educational institutions and urged students to use constructive communication channels to resolve grievances rather than resorting to lawlessness. Reacting to the incident, Deputy Minister for Education Dr. Clement Abas Apaak highlighted a worrying trend of indiscipline fueled by social media influence and substance abuse. He noted that many students are increasingly exposed to inappropriate online content via mobile phones, leading them to mimic unacceptable behaviors without considering the consequences. Dr. Apaak also raised concerns about the rising use of narcotics and harmful substances among the youth, specifically warning against certain energy drinks that may contain dangerous ingredients which contribute to volatile behavior in schools. Moving forward, the Ministry of Education has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a safe and disciplined learning environment across Ghana. Minister Haruna Iddrisu stressed that the government will not tolerate acts of vandalism or physical assault against educators. As the investigation continues, authorities are calling on parents and community leaders to play a more active role in monitoring student behavior and promoting values of respect and discipline to prevent a recurrence of such unfortunate events in the nation's schools.

Minister Haruna Iddrisu Clarifies Basic School Language Policy Amid Global Recognition for Academic City University and Regulatory Fines for Teaching Hospitals

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has clarified the government's stance on the new basic school curriculum, confirming that Arabic and Chinese will not be mandatory for learners from kindergarten to primary six. This announcement comes alongside a directive from the Ghana High Commission in the United Kingdom requiring government-sponsored students to undergo a mandatory oath of affirmation and scholarship validation exercise to secure their funding. Together, these developments highlight the administration's focus on refining educational policy and ensuring the integrity of scholarship programs. Minister Iddrisu emphasized that the primary focus of the new curriculum remains on local Ghanaian languages and English as the medium of instruction. Foreign languages like Arabic and Chinese will only be introduced as optional subjects starting from primary four. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, the High Commission has launched its validation exercise, which will run from August 13 to September 4, 2026. All government-sponsored students are now required to personally swear an oath of affirmation at a diplomatic mission. Failure to comply with this new directive, as ordered by the Ghana Scholarships Authority, will result in the immediate suspension of future scholarship payments. On the side of excellence, Academic City University has been recognized as Ghana’s Leading Innovation-Driven University for 2026. Awarded by Global Brands Magazine following an independent assessment of academic excellence and technological advancement, the institution was praised for its future-focused approach to higher education. Nelly Agyeman-Gyamfi, the university's Director of Marketing and Communications, noted that the accolade validates their mission to redefine African higher education through industry-aligned, practical learning. The formal presentation of the award is scheduled to occur at the 13th Global Brands Magazine Awards in Dubai on October 2, 2026. While celebrating academic milestones, the sector also faced significant regulatory actions and infrastructure challenges. The Right to Information (RTI) Commission has fined all five of Ghana's teaching hospitals, including Korle-Bu and Komfo Anokye, GH₵20,000 each for failing to submit their required annual reports. This enforcement action underscores a growing demand for transparency within educational and health institutions. Additionally, infrastructure concerns were raised at Pope John Senior High School regarding inadequate classroom furniture, reminding stakeholders that policy shifts and international awards must be matched by improvements in the physical learning environment for all students.

NCCE and Ministry for Youth Development Lead National Drive for Student Leadership and Professional Skills Training

The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) and the Ministry for Youth Development and Empowerment (MYDE) have spearheaded a series of initiatives aimed at equipping Ghanaian students and young professionals with the ethical, legal, and technical skills necessary for national development. In the Ashanti Region, the NCCE organized a Youth Leaders’ Empowerment Dialogue Session, attracting over 70 student leaders from institutions including the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and the Kumasi Technical University. Supported by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the program focused on the rule of law, whistleblower protections, and the 1992 Constitution, urging student leaders to champion integrity and reject corruption on their respective campuses. Simultaneously, the Ministry for Youth Development and Empowerment, led by Minister George Opare-Addo, has entered into a landmark five-year partnership with the Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) and the Design and Technology Institute (DTI). This collaboration is designed to address the critical challenges of youth unemployment by enhancing access to technical training and technology-driven job opportunities. Minister Opare-Addo emphasized that investing in youth is an economic necessity, noting that the initiative will leverage the extensive networks of the CCG and DTI to improve employability across the country. The drive for professional excellence also extended to specialized fields such as public relations and law. During the World PR Day Festival 2026, Ghana’s High Commissioner-designate to Nigeria, Baba Sadiq Abdulai Abu, urged public relations students at the University of Media, Arts and Communication to prioritize practical experience. He noted that while formal education provides a foundation, internships and volunteerism are essential for achieving professional fluency. This sentiment was echoed at the Ghana School of Law, where 47 students recently graduated from a specialized Criminal Prosecution and Litigation course. Director Professor Raymond Akongburo Atuguba highlighted the importance of continuous professional development, revealing that the graduates will soon participate in an advanced program at Columbia Law School to further enhance their legal expertise. These collective efforts underscore a growing national commitment to bridging the gap between academic theory and practical application. By fostering a generation of leaders grounded in ethical governance and technical proficiency, these programs aim to create a more resilient democracy and a competitive workforce. As these initiatives roll out over the coming years, the focus remains on ensuring that young Ghanaians are not only prepared for the global job market but are also committed to the principles of accountability and responsible citizenship.

St. Mary’s Seminary and Bueman SHS Secure Historic Victories in 2026 NSMQ Oti Regional Qualifiers

The Oti Region has concluded its regional qualifiers for the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), with St. Mary’s Seminary Senior High School, Lolobi, and Bueman Senior High School emerging as the standout performers. St. Mary’s Seminary successfully claimed the final regional ticket to the national championship in a hard-fought contest, while Bueman SHS etched its name into the competition's history books by becoming the first school from the region to secure the prestigious Riddle Bonanza. These results solidify the lineup of schools that will represent the Oti Region on the national stage. In a high-stakes encounter to determine the final qualifier, St. Mary’s Seminary SHS delivered a composed performance to finish at the top of their group with 32 points. Their victory came at the expense of Nkwanta Senior High School, which put up a spirited fight to place second with 23 points, and Oti Senior High Technical School, which finished third with 16 points. The win marks a significant achievement for the Lolobi-based institution, ensuring their participation in the 2026 National Championship and effectively ending the campaigns of their regional rivals in this cycle. Parallel to the qualification battles, Bueman Senior High School achieved a historic milestone during their regional fixture. Dominating their round with a total of 47 points, Bueman SHS won the Riddle Bonanza by successfully solving three riddles in the final round. This feat was particularly noteworthy as they significantly outperformed Kpassa Senior High Technical School, who garnered 21 points, and Boakye Community Senior High School, who finished with 14 points. Boakye Community SHS had notably been granted a second chance in the competition following the absence of another scheduled school. As the Oti Regional Qualifiers draw to a close, the focus now shifts to the National Championship, where these schools will test their academic mettle against the country's elite institutions. The strong showing from the Oti Region, highlighted by Bueman’s record-breaking riddle performance and St. Mary’s clinical qualification, suggests a competitive presence for the region in the 2026 tournament. The NSMQ continues to serve as a cornerstone of Ghana’s educational calendar, fostering excellence in science and mathematics among the nation's youth as they prepare for the national stage.

In a significant week for Ghana's higher education sector, two of the nation's leading academic institutions have ushered in new leadership with the inductions of Professor Christian Agyare at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and Professor Denis Worlanyo Aheto at the University of Cape Coast (UCC). These appointments come at a pivotal moment as the universities seek to modernize their curricula and strengthen their roles in national development. The ceremonies, attended by high-ranking government officials and traditional leaders, underscored a collective commitment to academic excellence and institutional innovation under the administration of President John Mahama. At KNUST, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, presided over the investiture of Professor Christian Agyare as the 13th Vice-Chancellor in the university’s 75-year history. Prof. Agyare, a former Provost of the College of Health Sciences, succeeds Professor Rita Akosua Dickson. During the ceremony on August 1, 2026, the Asantehene reminded the new Vice-Chancellor that his role is a sacred trust meant to benefit future generations, urging him to foster a culture of collaboration and inclusivity. Dr. Julius Debrah, Chief of Staff to President John Mahama, also addressed the gathering, commending the outgoing leadership and charging Prof. Agyare to lead with integrity and courage. In his inaugural address, Prof. Agyare pledged to elevate KNUST as a global center of excellence focusing on transformative education and innovation. Concurrently, the University of Cape Coast officially inducted Professor Denis Worlanyo Aheto as its 12th Vice-Chancellor, taking over from Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong. Prof. Aheto, who previously served as Pro-Vice-Chancellor and has a distinguished track record of securing over $30 million in research funding, unveiled an ambitious strategic agenda. His vision includes the establishment of an Africa Ocean Institute and a fully digital, AI-powered e-campus to drive UCC's modernization. Chancellor Sir (Dr) Sam Jonah echoed the need for such reforms, advocating for a shift from traditional theory-based education to capability-based learning that equips graduates with the practical skills necessary for the modern industry. Supporting this wave of institutional renewal, the Director-General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Professor Ahmed Abdulai Jinapor, used the occasion of the UCC investiture to urge Ghanaians to maintain confidence in the local tertiary system. Highlighting the global competitiveness of accredited Ghanaian institutions, Prof. Jinapor advised prospective students to verify the credibility of programs before enrollment to avoid unrecognized qualifications. Together, these developments signal a robust push toward self-reliance and quality assurance in Ghana’s higher education landscape, ensuring that both KNUST and UCC remain at the forefront of socio-economic transformation.

GETFund and UNESCO Partner on TVET AI Skills as President Mahama Inaugurates UNESCO Commission General Assembly

President John Mahama’s administration has underscored its commitment to educational reform and international partnership through two major initiatives involving UNESCO. In a strategic move to align Ghana’s workforce with the global digital economy, the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has entered into a formal partnership with UNESCO to enhance Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital skills within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. Simultaneously, the government has inaugurated the General Assembly of the Ghana Commission for UNESCO, solidifying the country’s institutional framework for global engagement and decision-making in the education sector. The partnership between GETFund and UNESCO was formalized through a Letter of Intent (LoI) signed in Accra. This collaboration is designed to modernize TVET curricula, equip instructors with advanced digital competencies, and introduce comprehensive AI education to prepare students for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. GETFund Administrator Richard Kwasi Ofori Adjei emphasized that the agreement marks a transformative chapter in Ghanaian education, addressing the urgent need for digital literacy as technology continues to reshape industries. UNESCO Country Representative Edmond Moukala commended the initiative, noting that such investments are vital for ensuring that graduates are not only employable but also capable of driving entrepreneurship in a technology-driven market. Furthering this agenda of international cooperation, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu officially inaugurated the General Assembly of the Ghana Commission for UNESCO. This body was established under the Ghana Commission for UNESCO Act of 2023 and serves as a crucial decision-making entity for the nation’s interactions with the global organization. Minister Iddrisu highlighted the diverse expertise of the newly appointed members, noting their potential to represent Ghana at prestigious international events. He expressed gratitude to President John Mahama for his leadership in appointing the Assembly and urged the members to work diligently toward strengthening Ghana’s global standing. These developments arrive at a pivotal moment as Ghana prepares to celebrate World Literacy Day alongside its 70th-anniversary milestones. By integrating high-level governance through the new General Assembly and practical skill-building via the GETFund-UNESCO partnership, the government aims to create a robust educational ecosystem. The combined efforts are expected to bridge the gap between academic training and industry demands, ensuring that the next generation of Ghanaian professionals is equipped with the tools necessary to compete on a global stage while fostering national growth and innovation.

Koforidua Technical University Faces Dual Crisis: Student Drug Arrests and Shutdown of Substandard Hostels

Koforidua Technical University (KTU) is currently navigating a period of significant unrest following a series of law enforcement and regulatory actions. The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) recently apprehended ten individuals, including seven KTU students, for allegedly producing and selling cannabis-infused drinks and ice cream during the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) Week celebrations on August 1. In response to this breach of conduct and university regulations, management has condemned the suspects' actions and officially suspended all SRC activities while an internal committee investigates the matter further. Parallel to the drug-related arrests, a major crackdown on student housing has seen the closure of two private facilities, Serwaa Heights and Adehye3 Hostel. The Rent Control Commission and the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) shut down the hostels following persistent student complaints regarding poor sanitation, substandard living conditions, and arbitrary rent increases. Inspections revealed that Serwaa Heights was operating without proper registration, posing significant safety risks to residents. The GTA has issued closure notices and has assured affected students that they will be facilitated in receiving refunds for their payments. These developments have brought student welfare and campus safety to the forefront of the university's agenda. While KTU management focuses on disciplinary measures and internal investigations, government authorities have signaled that inspections will continue across other private hostels to ensure compliance with national standards. These actions aim to protect the student body from both illegal drug activities and predatory housing practices, ensuring a safer academic environment as the university moves forward.

Professor Jason Arday Resigns from Cambridge University Amid Plagiarism Investigation and Qualifications Probe

Professor Jason Arday has resigned from his position at the University of Cambridge following a high-profile plagiarism row and an investigation into his academic qualifications. The university initiated an inquiry after allegations were raised regarding the integrity of his scholarly work and professional credentials. Arday, who gained significant recognition as one of the youngest Black professors at the prestigious institution, stated that stepping down is the most appropriate way to conclude this chapter of his life and prioritize his personal wellbeing and healing. The controversy was ignited by claims from Nathan Cofnas, a former Cambridge scholar known for his own controversial academic views. The allegations center on potential academic misconduct and discrepancies in Arday’s qualifications, prompting the university to formally assess ongoing complaints as part of a broader inquiry. While the investigation is still unfolding, Arday has acknowledged that certain errors exist within his published work. However, he has vehemently denied any intent to deceive, attributing the mistakes to personal challenges and his neurodivergence, specifically noting his experiences with autism. Despite the intense scrutiny, Arday has received backing from his publisher, Simon & Schuster, which is scheduled to release his memoir in the near future. The publishing house has defended his professionalism and integrity, affirming that they stand by him throughout the publication process. Additionally, the case has sparked a wider discussion within the academic community regarding the motives behind the scrutiny Arday has faced, with some observers questioning whether racial biases played a role in how the allegations were brought forward and amplified. In his departing statement, Professor Arday expressed deep gratitude to his students and colleagues for their support during his tenure at Cambridge. He emphasized that his immediate resignation is a personal choice focused on his mental health rather than an admission of the full scope of the allegations. While the University of Cambridge continues its formal processes regarding the misconduct complaints, Arday has signaled his intention to eventually return to the academic sphere following a period of recovery and reflection.

Health Ministry Appoints Professor Vida Nyagre Yekong to Lead Probe into Techiman-Krobo Nursing College Unrest

The Ministry of Health has established a seven-member investigative committee to probe the underlying causes of recent student unrest at the Nursing Training College in Techiman-Krobo, located in the Bono East Region. This intervention follows a peaceful demonstration by the student body that led to the temporary closure of the institution on July 24, 2026. The committee, chaired by Professor Vida Nyagre Yekong, is tasked with providing a clear roadmap for the reopening of the school and ensuring that governance and academic standards are restored. The unrest was triggered by growing student dissatisfaction regarding perceived unfair treatment by the college administration. Key grievances highlighted by the students included significant concerns over governance, student welfare, and academic management. While local leaders and traditional authorities initially attempted to mediate the dispute to prevent a shutdown, these efforts failed to produce a lasting solution, necessitating the formal closure of the college to maintain safety and allow for a comprehensive inquiry into the students' claims. Under the leadership of Professor Yekong, the newly formed committee has been granted a broad mandate to establish the facts surrounding the demonstration and the subsequent breakdown of order. The group is tasked with reviewing existing administrative protocols and assessing the college's compliance with national policies. A critical part of their work involves extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, including the student body, teaching and non-teaching staff, management, parents, and traditional authorities within the Techiman-Krobo community. The Ministry of Health has set a deadline of August 11, 2026, for the committee to submit its final report. This document will serve as the primary guide for the Ministry's decision-making process regarding the college’s reopening and the potential restructuring of its leadership. Beyond addressing the immediate concerns that led to the July closure, the investigation aims to implement long-term recommendations that will prevent future disruptions and foster a stable learning environment for Ghana’s future healthcare professionals.

Alexander Afenyo-Markin Equips Effutu Teachers with 100 Laptops to Drive Digital Education

Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has intensified his commitment to educational development by distributing laptops to newly posted teachers in his constituency. Under his "One Teacher, One Laptop Initiative," a total of 100 laptops were procured to support educators in transitioning to modern, technology-driven teaching methods. During a presentation ceremony in Winneba, 79 teachers received their devices, while the remaining 21 are set to be handed over as the new academic year commences or as the remaining teachers report for duty. Speaking at the event, Afenyo-Markin emphasized that technology has evolved from a luxury into a fundamental necessity for the teaching profession. He noted that digital tools are now essential for managing online assessments, facilitating lesson planning, and enhancing overall classroom delivery. By providing these resources, the MP aims to ensure that educators in the Effutu constituency are well-equipped to meet the increasing technological demands of the 21st-century classroom, which he believes will ultimately lead to improved educational outcomes for hundreds of students across the district. The Minority Leader was careful to frame the initiative as a direct response to the professional needs of teachers rather than a political gesture. He acknowledged the significant contributions of teachers to nation-building, despite facing challenges such as inadequate remuneration and high workload pressures. Afenyo-Markin highlighted Winneba’s historical status as a major educational hub in Ghana and pledged to continue supporting the sector through various means, building on his previous efforts which include funding school fees for needy students. This distribution signifies a localized push toward the broader national goal of integrating technology into every level of education. As Ghana's educational landscape continues to shift toward a more digital framework, such constituency-led initiatives serve as a critical bridge for educators who might otherwise lack access to modern equipment. Afenyo-Markin reaffirmed his long-term dedication to the welfare of teachers and the progress of the Effutu constituency, asserting that an investment in teachers is a direct investment in the future of Ghanaian youth.
