Challenges and the Road Ahead

Despite its success, the summit faced financial constraints, with crowdfunding efforts falling short. This limited event activities and added logistical pressure.Organisers are considering a return to a multi-day format, similar to earlier editions, to allow more in-depth discussions. Plans for greater inclusivity are also underway, ensuring participation from educators with physical, visual, and hearing impairments.

OuTS25: More Than a Conference

The Outstanding Teacher Summit is not only about professional development but also a space for teachers to unwind, reflect, and advance personally outside the classroom environment.With its growing influence, OuTS is positioning itself as a leading platform for teacher empowerment, innovation, and policy dialogue in Ghana and across Africa.
