Coral Reef Innovation Hub has partnered Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences (GAAS) as part of its mandate to explore and develop the education technologies (EdTech) policy space in the country.
The partnership will also seek to bridge the gaps as well as propose effective implementation advice in support of quality education through well-documented action steps and plans.
In a press statement issued by the Innovation Hub, on Monday, it was indicated that "the policy dialogue will provide an avenue for policy briefings within the sector and sharing of knowledge to enhance education outcomes and support the seamless implementation of the policy."
According to the partners, they expect to impact on policy issues and also contribute immensely to enhance the quality of education in Ghana by addressing challenges and problems for the initial period of 48 months.
In view of such ambitions, GAAS has encouraged the creation, acquisition, dissemination and utilization of knowledge for national development.
Meanwhile, Coral Reef and GAAS will on October 13, 2021, organise an Accra education technology info session and policy hackathon (EdTech Accra).
Such an initiative will "serve as an opportunity to engage relevant education sector stakeholders; school decision-makers, parents, policymakers, investors, development actors and agencies among others on the challenges, solutions and prospects in integrating educational technologies into improving education outcomes."
Participants will be introduced to education technology solutions including an opportunity to engage in experiential learning as well as participate in a policy dialogue on how to address the lingering challenges in the implementation of policies that guide the harnessing of technologies in education.
Coral Reef Innovation Hub is a company with a core focus on developing technology infrastructure; broadband-enabled devices, content, training and resources.
The company, through a research and solutions hackathon, has adopted a regional approach to engaging with school decision-makers, education stakeholders, policymakers and entrepreneurs to understand the nuances and unique dynamics in the integration of education technologies and the challenges in the ICT for Accelerated Development policy of government and also explore potential solutions that work locally with stakeholders.
