Ghana Education News is a Ghanaian digital newsroom dedicated to the country’s education beat. Launched in 2020, it reports across the sector—from basic schools to universities—translating policy decisions into practical updates for readers. Coverage centers on milestones that affect classrooms and families: Ministry of Education and GES directives, NaCCA curriculum changes, and WAEC announcements tied to BECE and WASSCE. Beyond daily reporting, the outlet develops service journalism for learners, including explainers and guidance around placements, timetables and results.
A distinctive strand of its work is assessment. Through its parent company, Education-News Consult, the newsroom runs nationwide BECE Home Mock and School Mock programmes started in 2022, delivering examiner-marked scripts, reports and results analysis aligned to WAEC standards for homes and schools. That dual role—news plus practice testing—positions the brand as both watchdog and hands-on support for students, teachers and parents.
The outlet is led by founder and editor Wisdom Hammond and publishes with contributions from a trained team and student writers. Ghana Education News has been recognised within the sector, including Media House of the Year at the 2022 Africa Early Childhood Education Awards, while Hammond won Blogger of the Year at the 2022 National Industrious Awards. To widen access, the organisation also distributes content through Android apps and active social channels.
