In a bold declaration, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia highlighted his commitment to equipping Ghana’s youth with the essential skills needed to thrive in the digital age. Speaking about the country’s future, Bawumia emphasized the importance of digital education and the potential for Ghanaian youth to compete globally in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Our world is rapidly going digital, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that our education system keeps pace, this is the new world order, and our children must be ready to harness the power of technology. We want to ensure that every young person in Ghana has the digital skills to not only compete but excel on the global stage.
Bawumia stated.
Dr. Bawumia pointed to the recent success of two senior high schools from Ghana, which won the World Robotics Competition, as a testament to the country’s growing capabilities in technology and innovation. He noted that these achievements reflect the immense potential within Ghana’s youth.
I am determined that when I become president, we will train at least one million youth in digital skills, Imagine this – the youth of Juaben, a small town, being trained in digital skills, and then working globally, earning their dollars while still here at home, all through the power of technology.
Bawumia declared.
The Vice President emphasized that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education will play a critical role in the digital transformation of the country. His plan includes the creation of training hubs across the nation, with 5,000 youth in Juaben alone set to benefit from digital skills programs. This initiative, Bawumia explained, is part of a broader effort to prepare Ghana’s next generation for a competitive, tech-driven world.
With a vision to transform Ghana into a global digital powerhouse, Bawumia’s plan to equip the youth with future-ready skills promises to be a game-changer for the country’s development.
