This collaboration intends to foster the development and implementation of innovative joint educational initiatives that will enhance STEM learning across various educational levels in the country.

Stakeholders believe that the partnership could significantly enhance the skill sets of students, making them more competitive in the global job market. The focus on grant sourcing will allow for the financing of innovative projects to address local and national challenges, ensuring that STEM education is not only theoretical but also applicable to real-world situations.
As the signing concludes, both institutions are poised to embark on this exciting journey together, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of STEM education in Ghana. Students and educators alike can anticipate a future enriched with resources, opportunities, and collaboration that promises to unlock the vast potential inherent in Ghana’s youth.
The partnership between SACOST-UEW and InvoTech is set to begin implementation immediately, with several initiatives planned for the coming months, aiming to make a notable impact in local communities and educational institutions.
