He is expected to bring a results-driven approach to the Ministry of Education, prioritising policies that address critical challenges such as access to quality education, teacher welfare, and curriculum reform.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Haruna Iddrisu has championed numerous legislative initiatives aimed at fostering inclusive growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since President Mahama\u2019s inauguration on January 7th, many stakeholders and citizens have speculated about who would take over the Ministry of Education, given the challenges the sector faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his campaign, Mahama emphasised his commitment to improving the quality and accessibility of education, including a promise to review and enhance the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Key priorities for the Ministry of Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As Minister of Education, Iddrisu will face the daunting task of addressing Ghana\u2019s educational challenges, particularly in the wake of growing concerns over the implementation of the Free SHS policy.<\/p>\n

While the policy has expanded access to education, it has also exposed systemic weaknesses such as overcrowded classrooms, inadequate infrastructure, and strained resources.<\/p>\n

Parliamentary approval awaited<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The nomination of Haruna Iddrisu will be subject to parliamentary vetting and approval. Given his track record and stature within Ghanaian politics, his confirmation is widely anticipated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stakeholders in the education sector have already expressed optimism about the potential impact of his leadership, highlighting his ability to engage diverse interest groups and build consensus on contentious issues.<\/p>\n

This appointment also underscores the Mahama administration\u2019s broader strategy of aligning experienced leaders with key portfolios to deliver on campaign promises.\u00a0It follows other high-profile nominations, such as Kwame Governs Agbodza for the Ministry of Roads and Highways and Agnes Naa Momo Lartey for the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection.<\/p>\n
