Africa’s education sector stakeholders to converge in Accra next week

The Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) has selected Ghana to host the 2025 Triennale on Education and Training, scheduled for October 29-30, 2025.

ADEA Triennale stands as one of Africa’s most influential platforms for policy dialogue, drawing leaders and stakeholders to share best practices, innovations and evidence-based strategies for enhancing education across the continent.

The event will draw more than 30 African ministers of education and high-level representatives from major international partners, including the World Bank, the African Development Bank, UNESCO and the Gates Foundation.

They will join senior policy-makers, researchers and academics to share groundbreaking innovations for transforming Africa’s education systems.

To be held under the theme ‘Strengthening the resilience of Africa’s educational systems: Advancing toward ending learning poverty by 2035, with a well-educated and skilled workforce for the continent and beyond’, the conference will drive critical discussions.

Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, announced that the triennale will provide a crucial platform for Africa to interrogate strategies for enhancing foundational learning, leveraging technology and advancing higher education.

The country plans to use the triennale to showcase national progress in improving access, infrastructure and quality learning outcomes.

The minister emphasised Ghana’s determination to position itself as a leader in educational innovation. “The event will provide an opportunity for participants to form partnerships that will accelerate learning outcomes for millions of African children and commit to concrete actions,” he stated.

He further highlighted that Ghana, with support from the World Bank and other global development partners for education, has made significant progress in reducing out-of-school children, and will share these experiences.

“Ghana shares ADEA’s vision of ending learning poverty by 2035. We are committed to this goal, and that means we must be aggressive in expanding infrastructure and improving the quality provision of education across the country,” he added.
