Topic briefing
Field-informed analysis of teacher development, resilient infrastructure, inclusion and the operating models behind durable STEM education.
The central argument
Africa’s STEM future depends on systems that connect access, teacher capability, curriculum, maintenance, measurement and progression.
Published analysis
Artificial intelligence
AI can strengthen Ghanaian education—but only if it improves the decisions around learners, teachers and systems instead of automating weak practice.

Designing for a small screen is only the beginning. African products must account for shared devices, data cost, power, identity, trust and interrupted use.
Read insightBuilding technology
EdTech models carry assumptions about infrastructure, institutions, households and learning. Copying the interface without examining those assumptions imports failure.
Read insightTechnology innovation
A field guide to Ghana's education-technology landscape—and a standard for distinguishing promising products from durable learning infrastructure.
Read insightBuilding technology
Building from Ghana changes the product questions: resilience before polish, workflows before features, distribution before launch and institutional ownership before scale.
Read insightRobotics education
A practical framework for moving from a robotics demonstration to a curriculum-connected programme that Ghanaian teachers can sustain and learners can grow through.
Read insightSTEM infrastructure
The honest answer is not a single equipment price. It is a total-cost model covering space, learning tools, teachers, operations, maintenance and evidence.
Read insightArtificial intelligence
The urgent question is not which AI tool schools should buy. It is whether learners and teachers can question, verify, and use AI without surrendering human judgement.
Read insightArtificial intelligence
Teacher AI development should build judgement, ethics, foundations, pedagogy and professional learning—not simply demonstrate prompts.
Read insightEducation systems
A seven-part due-diligence framework for distinguishing impressive activity from programmes capable of producing equitable, durable learning.
Read insightTeacher capability
Technology scales only when teacher confidence, pedagogy, classroom routines, and peer support scale with it. Training must move from events to sustained practice.
Read insightArtificial intelligence
Africa should not wait for perfect connectivity to build AI capability. The winning model separates what must happen locally, what may synchronise later and what always requires human judgement.
Read insightEducation systems
Reach matters, but it is the first layer of evidence. A credible measurement system tracks experience, capability, practice, progression and durability.
Read insightTeacher capability
Scale should multiply supported practice, not dilute a workshop. This playbook connects competency progression, coaching, communities and quality assurance.
Read insightEducation systems
Ghana’s curriculum ambition is becoming clearer. The next challenge is the operating capacity that connects teachers, infrastructure, progression, evidence and equitable access.
Read insightEducation systems
Devices matter, but continuity matters more. Ghana needs a visible progression from first digital contact to confident problem-solving, creation, and leadership.
Read insightDigital infrastructure
Designing for intermittent connectivity is not lowering the standard. It is how Ghana can build digital learning that remains available, usable, teachable, and maintainable.
