Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwam, Minister of Education, has announced plans to launch an “edutourism” initiative aimed at attracting international students and educators to Ghana.

This innovative program will combine educational experiences with cultural immersion, allowing visitors to engage with Ghana’s rich history and vibrant culture.

Speaking on behalf of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), on Sunday in Accra, Dr. Adutwum explained that the edutourism initiative will create opportunities for students from around the world to participate in academic programs while experiencing the diversity of Ghana’s heritage.

“We want to position Ghana as a premier destination for educational tourism,” he stated. “This initiative will not only enhance our educational offerings, but also promote cultural exchange and economic growth.”

Dr. Adutwam stressed that this initiative is aligned with the government’s broader objective to transform the education sector and make it more globally competitive.

He stressed that for this reason Ghanaians should retain the NPP government to make this a reality.
