The 10th edition of the Global Super Teachers Conference (GSTC), a comprehensive educational capacity-building and leadership empowerment programme for teachers, managers of schools and education policymakers, has been launched.
It is being organised by Africa Education Gateway (AEG) in partnership with Pearson and the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS).
The event, which will be held from November 4 to November 11 in Accra, will climax with an education festival in the country at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
The education festival is open to teachers and students in public and private schools, as well as all stakeholders in education.
It is expected that more than 2,000 education practitioners such as teachers, managers of schools, as well as students, and other stakeholders will take part in the event.
It will also include events such as awards, edutainment, talk shows and presentations from top educationists and leadership coaches.
At a media launch of the GSTC on Saturday, the Director of Programmes at AEG, Mr Grant Bulmuo, explained that the aim of the GSTC was to equip education practitioners with the right skills and mindset for positive transformation of the country’s education system.
He said the conference has various practical sessions aimed at exposing teachers, school managers, students, and policymakers to best practices that have successfully transformed education on different levels in other countries.
Speaking at the programme launch, Mr Gabriel Sowah, the Regional Development Manager of Pearson Edexcel, explained that his outfit decided to be part of the GSTC because of the innovative way it helps teachers and other stakeholders in education to bring different and effective approaches to education to help the development of children.
Dr Aisha Akrofi, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of GNAPS, for her part urged all teachers, school managers and owners to partake in the GSTC not only to build their capacities, but to help them become agents of the change needed to drive the transformational agenda of education in the country.
