Ghana Girls' STEM by KOICA Project

On October 28, 2025, the Promotion of Girls’ Competency in Mathematics and Science with Gender-Responsive Pedagogy Project (2021–2025) held its official closing ceremony. The project, implemented across 400 Junior High Schools in 10 districts of the Eastern and Central Regions, has marked significant achievements in strengthening STEM education for both girls and boys. Key stakeholders gathered to celebrate the five-year journey and the progress made in teacher capacity development, student engagement, and gender-responsive learning environments. The event also looked ahead to the launch of Phase II, expanding Ghana’s STEM education agenda based on the success of Phase I. Through the collective efforts and dedication of all partners, we belive this initiative has become a cornerstone for advancing students’ growth and Ghana’s sustainable development. #STEM #Ghana #KOICA #GES
