He expressed Ghana’s interest in deepening institutional ties between the Ministry of Education of both countries to support the mutual exchange of knowledge, best practices, and investment in education.

The minister noted that the Islamic curriculum for basic schools will be reviewed for basic education beginning with kindergarten to encourage the teaching of Arabic in basic schools in Ghana

Haruna Iddrisu further expressed Ghana’s interest in participating in the upcoming global Education Conference scheduled to take place in Geneva in September 2025, where Ghana’s progress and priorities in the Education sector will be showcased on the international stage.

The visit forms part of ongoing diplomatic engagements aimed at strengthening education-focused partnerships between Ghana and its international allies.
