Study Proposes Education-Centered Framework for Ghana's National AI Strategy 2025–2035
A recent research paper available on arXiv (ID 2608.16910) introduces an Education-Centered AI Policy Framework tailored for Ghana's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, spanning from 2025 to 2035. By examining the strategy through six perspectives—policy intent, teacher empowerment, curriculum design, language considerations, responsible AI practices, and governance—the researchers characterize Ghana's initiative as ambitious, especially regarding AI literacy and workforce preparation. Nonetheless, the educational agenda appears inconsistently prioritized. The framework underscores the pedagogical and ethical dimensions of education, emphasizing the importance of teacher empowerment and the use of local languages. It also tackles issues of data privacy and algorithmic bias, raising concerns about accountability in decision-making. This analysis positions Ghana within a global movement of countries crafting AI strategies, providing a model for comparative policy evaluation. The study seeks to evaluate the implications of AI strategies on equity and access.
