German Language Education Expands in Ghana

The University of Education, Winneba (UEW) is set to graduate 200 German language teachers as part of efforts to expand access to foreign language education among Ghanaian youth.

The graduates are being trained through a specialised Bachelor of Arts programme focused on German language teaching and are expected to begin serving in schools and institutions across the country within the next year and a half.

The initiative is expected to significantly improve access to German language education and strengthen opportunities for young Ghanaians seeking academic and professional pathways abroad.

TVET Institutions to Support Internship Placements

As part of the programme, students are expected to begin internship placements later this year, with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions identified as key partners in the initiative.

Officials say institutions already offering German language education will provide practical teaching environments for trainees while also supporting the broader expansion of language learning within the TVET sector.
