The National Education Forum engagements will open on Tuesday, February 18, this year and climax with a two-day validation conference from Thursday, February 27, this year, in Accra.
The engagements will take off in the Volta Regional capital, Ho, after which the first zonal engagement for the Volta and Oti regions will start before it moves to other regions.
The eight-member National Education Forum Planning Committee said yesterday that the Volta/Oti region events would begin the zonal engagements, with the climax at the validation workshop at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) on February 27 and 28, this year.
The committee has zoned the country into the northern zone, the middle zone, and the southern zones for the stakeholder engagements, beginning with the Ho/Oti regional zone on February 19, where a total of 100 participants are expected
The Greater Accra and Eastern regions will hold engagements in Accra, while the Western and Central regions will hold theirs in Cape Coast, both to be held concurrently on February 21, this year.
The Upper East and North East stakeholders will converge on Bolgatanga, while the Western North, Bono, Ahafo and Bono East regional zone will meet in Sunyani on February 24.
The last session of engagements would be for the Upper West, Savannah and Northern regional zones, and the meetings would be held in Tamale on February 25, with a separate meeting for the Ashanti Region in Kumasi on February 26.
With the engagement on the theme: “Transforming education for a sustainable future”, the committee hopes that the meetings would provide a broader framework within which “our interrogation of issues at the forum will be achieved,” the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Prof. George K. T. Oduro, told journalists.
