Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister for Education, announced that Ghana's revised national curriculum will introduce robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), coding, and electronics at the basic school level. He stated, "I'm aware that in the next few weeks, I'll be receiving the report of our National Curriculum Review Committee, which has barely a week to complete its work.
