The Ministry of Education has pledged to improve classroom conditions and increase investments in education to ensure students receive quality learning experiences through the Foundational Learning Action Tracker.

Speaking during the launch of the 2025 Foundational Learning Action Tracker, Deputy Minister for Education, Dr Clement Apaak, said the tracker will help identify challenges and monitor progress in the education sector.

He urged teachers and education partners to use data from the system to drive meaningful reforms.

“FLAT is more than a monitoring tool. It is a platform for shared accountability and collective learning. It will help us track progress and identify areas needing improvement.

“Let us commit to using data to drive meaningful reforms, invest in teachers, and create classrooms where every child can thrive and blossom. Together, we can move from measurement to action, ensuring every child learns and no child is left behind,” he stated.

The Global Director of Education and Adolescent Development at UNICEF, Pia Rebello Britto, also called for urgent investment in human resources to strengthen education delivery.

“In 2024, only a quarter of countries reported nationwide recruitment of specific personnel to support students’ mental health and wellbeing. And so a lot of this is falling on the teachers, and they are likely to be heavily burdened. So you understand why we’re putting a focus on teachers this year. A lot of the gaps we are seeing are in the areas of human resources,” she said.

The Foundational Learning Action Tracker is a platform designed to enhance accountability and boost learning outcomes across Ghana.
