The UK and Ghana have deepened collaboration in education through the UK-Ghana EdTech Trade Mission to BETT 2026 in London, the world\u2019s largest education technology exhibition.<\/p>\n

The Trade Mission brought together a Ghanaian delegation comprising representatives from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), private universities and schools, EdTech companies, and key UK education technology stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Facilitated by the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT), delegates participated in targeted meetings and networking across the exhibition, including engagements at the GREAT (UK) Pavilion and a private networking event. <\/p>\n

These interactions enabled direct engagement with UK education technology companies offering market-ready solutions across digital learning, teacher support, data systems, and skills development.<\/p>\n

The Trade Mission focused on identifying potential partners, investment and funding opportunities, and exploring collaboration models that can deliver impact at both institutional and system levels. <\/p>\n

Discussions highlighted innovations that support inclusive access to education, strengthen delivery, and align learning outcomes with workforce needs.<\/p>\n

UK representatives welcomed Ghana\u2019s delegation and reaffirmed the UK\u2019s commitment to supporting Ghana\u2019s education ambitions through collaboration with UK EdTech companies, knowledge exchange, and trade and investment partnerships that translate innovation into measurable learning outcomes.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the Trade Mission, Jo Ann Sackey, Deputy Country Director of the Department for Business and Trade, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Trade Mission\u2019s engagements have reinforced the strength of the UK-Ghana modern partnership, especially in education. <\/p>\n

\u201cBy connecting Ghana\u2019s education leadership and private sector with UK EdTech expertise, we are supporting practical partnerships that can deliver inclusive, scalable, and sustainable education reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

In parallel with the Trade Mission, Ghana\u2019s Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, took part in several high-level engagements during the week, including the Generative AI Summit hosted by the UK Department for Education and the BETT Ministerial Symposium. <\/p>\n

During his visit to BETT, the Minister also toured the UK Pavilion to gain firsthand insight into cutting-edge educational technologies showcased by UK providers. <\/p>\n

Collectively, his presence and engagements enabled deeper discussions on education reform priorities and the global trends shaping the future of learning.<\/p>\n

Post-engagement activities will continue to explore next steps, including partnership frameworks, commercial linkages, and innovation exchanges aligned with Ghana\u2019s national education goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
