Ghana education policy reforms

Overview

In early July 2026, Ghana’s Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu cautioned university councils against allowing management interference, stressing the need for autonomous governance within higher‑education institutions. Later that month, at a national conference in Sunyani, he announced a zero‑tolerance policy for bullying, weapons, substance abuse and other criminal conduct in senior‑high schools, urging schools to become safe learning spaces. He pledged full governmental backing, highlighted implementation challenges, and called for a coordinated national framework, stronger collaboration and values‑based education to curb indiscipline. Together, the statements reflect a broader agenda to reinforce governance and discipline across Ghana’s tertiary and secondary education sectors.
