From screens to strategy: Is Ghana finally ready to close the digital divide for every child?

n an era where a child’s future is increasingly determined by their digital proficiency, a haunting question looms over Ghana’s education system: Will your child be left behind? For years, Ghana’s journey into Educational Technology (EdTech) has felt like a patchwork quilt with plenty of vibrant patches, but no single thread holding them together. We’ve seen laptops distributed in some districts while others lack electricity; we’ve seen high-end apps developed while teachers struggle with basic digital literacy. This fragmented landscape was the focal point of the February 2026 edition of EdTech Mondays Ghana, aired on MEST Africa’s YouTube Channel. The episode, titled “Leaving No Child Behind: Ghana’s Draft EdTech Strategy,” signalled a pivotal shift from random acts of technology to a unified national vision.
