The Ghana Publishing Company Limited (GPCL) is seeking a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) to provide comprehensive printing and publishing services suited to Ghana’s educational needs.
Acting Managing Director of GPCL, Nana Kwasi Boatey Esq., during a meeting with Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, to discuss possible partnership arrangements, appealed to the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service to give their printing works to the state-owned company. The courtesy call on the Education Minister provided an opportunity for the parties to discuss how GPCL’s capabilities could support the Ministry’s mandate to enhance education delivery nationwide.
The Minister, on his part, commended GPCL on the implementation of 24-hour operations in line with the government’s 24-hour economy policy and expressed his willingness to facilitate a progressive partnership between GPCL and his Ministry of Education.
GPCL, Ghana’s premier state-owned printing and publishing institution, brings over six decades of experience in producing official government publications, including the Ghana Gazette, Acts of Parliament, and the Parliamentary Hansard. The GPCL has the capacity to produce a wide range of educational materials such as textbooks, exercise books, exam answer sheets, and specialized learning tools like the “My 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Copy Books,” for which it holds sole rights.
GPCL was the first state-owned company to implement the government’s 24-hour economy policy, and by operating in shifts around the clock, the company ensures the timely production and distribution of materials while also contributing to economic growth.
The Acting MD for GPCL, Nana Kwasi Boatey Esq., expressed optimism about the collaboration and expressed hope that it would not only ensure the delivery of high-quality educational materials but also support national development goals. He reiterated GPCL’s commitment to being a reliable partner to the Ministry of Education, the GES, and all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies in the country.
