The Ghana Education Service (GES) has launched a pilot for a new Senior High School (SHS) curriculum in 33 schools, incorporating climate change and green economy topics for the 2024/2025 academic year.

This curriculum is part of the Education Strategic Plan (ESP, 2018-2030) and aims to foster environmental awareness among students.
