Govt to construct 35 STEM SHSs, 5 varsities – Education Minister

Dr Yaw OseiAdutwum, Minister for Education, has hinted that the government is making frantic efforts to boost the teaching and learning of science and technology-based courses at all levels of education across the country.

He explained that the approval of the construction of 35 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Senior High Schools (SHS) and the construction of five STEM-based universities in five of the new regions in the 2022 budget were part of the effort by the government to increase the intake of students into fields which held the key to the industrialisation of a country.
