The International Community for Learning and Social Spectrums (ICLASS), a global education and continuous professional development consult, has forged a strategic collaboration with the Ashanti Regional Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to empower educators with contemporary skills and insights crucial for the evolving educational landscape.
This essential, time-relevant, and tailored training, the first of which will benefit a cohort of 500 teachers and education administrators drawn from public basic and Senior High Schools in the Kumasi Metropolis, kicks off on 5th September 2025; with each of the 42 municipalities and districts across the Ashanti Region expected to subsequently benefit from the same.
The maiden workshop, christened the KEY EDUCATION ENHANCEMENT PROJECT 2025 (KEEP 2025), comes off under the theme “Building Resilient Safeguards: Rebranding the Ghanaian Teacher Through Their Multiple Intelligences.”
Participants will engage with cutting-edge content, including safeguarding as a core function with a focus on strategies for building safer, supportive, and thriving school communities.
Teachers and school administrators will take a masterclass in Artificial Intelligence in Education, exploring the interface between AI and the modern teaching profession.
A key component, tailored for students with diverse strengths, will take educators through the benefits and modules for building inclusive learning environments and developing approaches for fostering inclusivity through multiple intelligences.
Through the resource pool of ICLASS and the generous sponsorship of Hollard Life Insurance and First National Bank (FNB), teachers will be afforded this opportunity, together with feeding, facilitation content, and course materials for free, optimistic that beneficiaries will transmit the content to respective learning communities in their schools.
Outcomes and Expectations of KEEP 2025
The outcomes expected of KEEP 2025 align directly with the core objectives of ICLASS and the KEY Africa Project to:
* Enhance instructional strategies: Improve teaching methodologies and classroom management techniques by focusing on evidence-based practices that cater to diverse student needs.
* Provide a stimulating learning environment: Inspire design thinking, creativity, and innovation around the teaching profession.
* Awaken teachers to digital technologies: Expose educators to contemporary trends shaping the global education landscape.
In line with ICLASS’ culture of infusing a monitoring and evaluation component into all training programs, the team will, after every training session, implement a KEEP 2025 Impact Awards and sponsorship engagement.
With clear project timelines and specific Key Performance Indicators, each school will be required to take photographs and videos detailing how they are implementing the workshop’s learnings and concepts in their schools and classrooms.
A four-week window will be allowed for this exercise, within which teams of sponsors and evaluators will interact with teachers, monitor progress, and inspire the teams to win the ultimate award for the best conference school batches.
The team firmly believes that the invaluable learnings gleaned from this conference will serve as a catalyst for significant transformation within our schools, fully aligning with the objectives of the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education.
The ICLASS KEY Africa Project
The training content and facilitation of KEEP 2025 is handled by The KEY Africa Project, a flagship wing of the International Community for Learning and Social Spectrums (ICLASS).
Inspired by the profound acronym “Keep Educating Yourself,” the KEY Africa Project serves as a dynamic platform, uniting educational stakeholders for impactful, time-relevant continuous professional development and training sessions.
Under the leadership of educationist and parenting coach Dr. Marian Benewa Babah Alargi, the KEY Africa Project of ICLASS is driven by an unwavering commitment to ensuring that every teacher, entrusted with the formative years of our young learners, deeply comprehends the profound gravity of their calling and the immense implications of their stewardship in shaping the future of learners, families, societies, nations, and the world.
