CERMES Foundation empowers over 30 ICT facilitators in Tema Metropolis

CERMES Foundation, in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service (GES) – Tema Metropolis, has designed and delivered a specialized coding training program for ICT facilitators in public schools.

The free training, held at the Grand Auditorium of Enterprise Computing Ltd. (ECL), spanned three impactful sessions in September and October 2025.

Abdul Rafiatu, one of the engaging participants, summed this up perfectly, saying: “This training has given me the tools to make coding fun. My students will no longer see it as a tough subject but as a skill they can enjoy learning.”

For CERMES Foundation, investing in one teacher means impacting many learners. With every ICT facilitator trained, entire student population benefits, as on a grander scale, one confident facilitator can influence hundreds of learners over the years.

Mark Anibrika, the Tema Metro ICT Coordinator, emphasized this ripple effect, saying:
“When you train one ICT facilitator, you’re shaping the digital literacy of countless learners. This partnership with CERMES Foundation is preparing our young people to compete in a world driven by technology.”

According to CERMES Foundation, this training is part of its mission to enhance ICT skills by empowering ICT teachers. The Foundation’s Administrator, Ernestina Antwi-Boasiako, highlighted: “We are committed to ensuring that ICT facilitators in our public schools are not left behind in the digital journey. When facilitators are empowered to teach coding effectively, our children are empowered to achieve more.”

The bigger story here is about changing how coding is perceived in Ghana’s public schools. As CERMES Foundation continues to expand its education-focused initiatives, one goal remains clear – empower teachers to unlock the potential of their learners.

Ghana’s ICT education is shifting, and facilitators are the catalysts of that change. It is no longer enough to teach learners how to use computers; the future belongs to those who can create with technology, not just consume it.

When facilitators understand coding only in theory, learners receive the same. But when these facilitators experience coding as a practical, creative skill, classrooms change. Lessons become interactive. Concepts connect to real life. And learners begin to see coding not as a mere subject, but as a pathway to possibility.

Because when coding becomes confidence, and classrooms become creative, Ghana moves one step closer to a future where no child is excluded in the digital revolution.
