Deputy Minister of Education, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has said the government is committed to improving literacy, as part of efforts to help overcome learning poverty in the country.

He said the government was working with development partners to create conducive environments for children to be able to reach their full potential and climb to the highest possible educational level.

The lawmaker disclosed this during the launch of the Ghana Union of Professional Students APP called GUPS Connect on 30th September 2022 at Presec Legon. 

Rev. Fordjour said one of the digital initiatives the ministry was rolling out to improve literacy was the GUPs Connect APP program, which was being implemented in partnership with the Ghana Union of Professional Students.

"ICT, critical thinking and creativity are the front and centre of skills required to thrive in today's world. Government is poised to positioning our education system to nurture talents to become globally competitive," he said.

He urged the youth to take full advantage of all the technological opportunities government has made available. 

Rev. Fordjour said the government is focused on harnessing the power of technology to transform the economy.
