The Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (IEPA), a UNESCO Category II Centre of Excellence for West Africa, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Education Commission, has organised a two-day policy dialogue on Innovative Pedagogies in Accra.
The Policy Dialogue, the first to be organized under the Innovative Pedagogy Project, aimed at creating awareness of Innovative Pedagogies as well as engage stakeholders to discuss ways of making education inclusive, engaging and adaptive, especially at the primary level.
The IEPA is proud to be the “Consultant” for Ghana on the Innovative Pedagogies Project (IPP) by the Education Commission. The IPP is a project aimed at making education inclusive, engaging, and adaptive at the primary school level.
Concurrently running in Kenya and Rwanda, the IEPA was selected among other institutions who expressed interest in the project, as a result of its expertise in educational research. For more than four decades, IEPA has been driving excellence and influencing policy direction in the education sector of Ghana.
