Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced that Ghana has been selected as the host destination for the 2025 Triennale Conference of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), scheduled to take place from October 29 to 31, 2025, in Accra.
Speaking at a press conference at the Ministry’s conference room, the Minister noted that the meeting will bring together over 30 Ministers of Education from across Africa, more than 350 participants from the continent, as well as high-ranking representatives from the World Bank, UNESCO, and other relevant international development partners to deliberate on the continued advancement of education in Africa.
“The Ministry of Education is delighted to inform the general public that Ghana has been officially chosen by the Association for the Development of Education in Africa to host the 2025 Triennale Conference. The event will be attended by nearly 30 Ministers of Education from across the continent, as well as high-ranking representatives from development partners such as UNESCO, UNICEF, the World Bank, among others, to brainstorm on how to tweak and adapt learning practices to meet the current trends of a fast-changing and ultra-competitive world,” he said.
Mr. Iddrisu further noted that the conference will provide Ministers, technocrats, and officials with the opportunity to dialogue on the best ways to enhance educational outcomes across Africa by leveraging technology and Artificial Intelligence for optimal results.
“The gathering of top-tier politicians and funding organizations over the three days is a well-calculated step to push our boundaries as Africans and to leverage technology and Artificial Intelligence to streamline educational management and operations on the continent for optimal results,” he stated. “It will serve as a peer review mechanism for all of us leading the educational policies of our respective countries to share ideas, develop innovative solutions, and build on our collective strengths and experiences to uplift our educational institutions to enviable world-class standards in line with strategic continental and global objectives,” he added.
The conference is expected to attract widespread participation from policymakers, technocrats, and high-level development experts from both within and outside Africa to address emerging challenges in the contemporary African education landscape.
