Pru East MP makes strong case for STEM education in rural areas

Emmanuel Kwaku Boam, the MP for Pru East, is advocating for STEM education in all schools. He particularly emphasizes rural schools.

Boam believes this initiative will positively impact nation-building. He wants to ensure no one is left behind in Ghana's development.

“STEM education is essential for national growth,” he stated. He highlighted the potential of rural children to excel academically.

The MP urges the government and education minister to support this initiative. He wants all Ghanaian students, especially in rural areas, to have equal opportunities.

He argues that this approach will transform education in rural areas. It will also help advance technology in Ghana.

Boam pointed out challenges faced by students in rural areas. These barriers hinder their academic progress.

While he acknowledged previous efforts to establish STEM programs, he insists all schools need these facilities.

His proposal follows the establishment of specialized STEM schools in urban centers. This trend neglects students in smaller communities and undermines educational inclusivity.

To raise awareness, Boam has introduced a STEM quiz for students. This initiative targets both basic and secondary school levels.

He urges the government to prioritize this program for rural students. By doing so, they can drive change within their communities and address local development challenges effectively.
