EducationGhana.org is a leading education news and policy platform in Ghana, founded in 2014 by Ellis Ferdinand, an education journalist, researcher and policy analyst. The platform emerged from a clear need for verified, accessible and research-informed reporting within the education sector. Since its establishment, it has developed into a dependable source for teachers, school leaders, students, policymakers and researchers who require clarity on national reforms and institutional decisions.
The platform offers daily updates from the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service, the National Teaching Council, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission and the major examination bodies. Its reporting helps readers follow how policy changes influence teaching, learning and school governance. In addition to news, EducationGhana.org publishes features, interviews and analytical pieces that connect local developments to broader African and global education trends. This balance of news and analysis makes the platform useful to both practitioners and scholars.
