Presisnet Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has cut the sod for the commencement of construction of the Accra STEM Academy, a school, dedicated, principally, to the teaching and learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

It is expected to be completed within 24 months at a cost of GHS32 million.

The school will comprise kindergarten to high school, with an expected population of some 2,000 students.

The Academy will house state-of-the-art facilities, including a four-storey classroom block, science laboratories, a sickbay, administrative area, staff common room, library, washrooms, canteen, and a 1,500 capacity multi-purpose hall.

The Accra STEM Academy, when completed will equip learners from kindergarten to senior high school with 21st century skills in problem solving, creativity, communication, collaboration, data literacy, digital literacy, and computer science.

In addition, the Accra STEM Academy will be a place where learners in junior high school will be provided with the options of learning basic engineering, manufacturing, and global studies to help them make informed decisions on their preferred programmes of choice at senior high school level.
