The Minister of Environment, Science, and Technology, Dr Murtala Ibrahim, has emphasized the critical role of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education in preparing Ghana’s youth for a rapidly evolving world.
In a speech delivered on his behalf at the 20th Science and Makers Fair of Galaxy International School on Saturday, May 10, 2025, Dr. Murtala Ibrahim highlighted that STEAM equips students with technical skills, adaptability, and creative problem-solving abilities essential for lifelong learning.
The fair, themed “Empowering STEAM,” celebrated two decades of fostering innovation and collaboration among young Ghanaians.
Dr. Ibrahim noted that STEAM’s integration of arts with STEM fosters empathy and human-centered design, enabling students to develop sustainable solutions for challenges like climate change, clean energy, and agricultural productivity.
“The world of work is changing rapidly. Many jobs today’s students will hold in the next decade do not yet exist,” he said, stressing the need for inclusive education that empowers girls, rural youth, and marginalized communities.
The Minister also announced the upcoming Biannual Environment, Science, and Technology Fair in June and August 2025, aimed at showcasing Ghanaian innovation.
