The AshantiFest2025 Education, Science & Technology Fair took a significant step towards enhancing education in the Ashanti Region.
Dr. Frank Amoakohene, Ashanti Regional Minister, yesterday presented exercise books to brilliant students who participated in the fair.
This gesture was inspired by Nana Owusu, a passionate 9-year-old who narrated the history of Lake Bosomtwe and humbly requested support for exercise books and pens.
Nana Owusu’s heartfelt request moved Dr. Amoakohene, prompting him to act on it. The regional minister’s decision to provide exercise books to students demonstrates the impact young voices can have on decision-makers.
By investing in educational resources, Dr. Amoakohene aims to empower students and foster a love for learning.
The Ashanti Regional Minister’s initiative extends beyond the fair.
Plans are underway to provide support to more schools across the region, underscoring the government’s commitment to enhancing education in Ashanti. This effort will help create a conducive learning environment, encouraging students to excel in various fields, including science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
STEM education plays a vital role in shaping the future of young learners. By incorporating hands-on experiments, real-world applications, and interactive technologies, students can develop essential skills and knowledge required to thrive in an evolving world. Some key aspects of STEM education include :
– Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Encouraging students to think creatively and develop innovative solutions.
– Collaboration and Teamwork: Fostering a sense of camaraderie and enhancing communication skills through group projects.
– Real-World Applications: Connecting STEM concepts to everyday life, making learning relatable and exciting.
By providing educational resources and promoting STEM education, Dr. Amoakohene’s initiative will empower young minds to reach their full potential. As the region invests in its future, students will be better equipped to drive progress and development.
The AshantiFest2025 Education, Science & Technology Fair serves as a platform to inspire and nurture the next generation of leaders, innovators, and problem solvers.
