The Ministry of Education has announced plans to introduce subject-specific artificial intelligence (AI) applications to high schools (SHSS) to support the effective delivery of the new SHS curriculum.
The initiative aims to improve teaching and learning outcomes while protecting Ghana's ethical and cultural values.
According to the ministry, in a statement issued on October 1, the app is co-created by Ghana Education Services (GES), National Curriculum Assessment Council (NACCA), National School Inspection Agency (NASIA), and the National Centre for Distance Learning and Open Schooling (CENDLOS).
The initiative was also supported by Education, Teaching, Learning (T-TEL) and the transformation of MasterCard Foundation.
Building on Ghana's unique curriculum materials, such as the Teacher Manual, Learner Resources, National Values, Gender Equality, and Framework for Social Inclusion, AI tools are expected to support over 68,000 teachers in lesson planning and assessment of over 1.4 million learners.
The ministry noted that to ensure relevance and effectiveness, the app is piloted through weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) sessions on all 712 SHSS, providing teachers with the opportunity to test their tools, collaborate and share feedback.
He also said the deployment would follow a four-stage testing process covering technical accuracy, education quality, user experience and regional testing.
National training for more than 7,800 school-based facilitators is scheduled for October 2025 ahead of broader implementation, according to the statement.
The ministry added that the initiative is designed to emphasize its commitment to ensuring the integration of AI into education rather than replacing teacher expertise.
