afiDE Ghana, in partnership with GSET, is launching the National Digital Education Leadership Academy (NDELA) — a practical, action-oriented programme designed to strengthen digital education across Ghana. The first cohort will commence on 27 June 2027 at Nyansa Square in Accra, bringing together school leaders ready to take the next step in advancing digital education in their schools.
Leading Digital Education Starts with Leadership
As Ghana continues its digital transformation, many schools face a common challenge:
> not the lack of technology — but the lack of structured leadership to use it effectively.
Digital education is not simply about introducing tools. It requires:
- clear direction
- confident leadership
- alignment within schools
- and sustainable implementation
Without this, even strong investments in technology struggle to deliver impact.
The Leadership Academy has been designed to address exactly this gap — by equipping school leaders to lead change, not just adopt technology.
From Intention to Implementation
School leaders often express strong ambition for digital education, but face real challenges in practice:
- securing sustainable funding
- aligning stakeholders
- integrating technology into teaching and learning
- managing resistance to change
The Academy supports leaders in navigating these realities — turning ambition into concrete action.
Who the Academy is For
The programme is designed for:
- Directors
- Principals
- Head Teachers
- School administrators
— leaders who are ready to actively strengthen digital learning in their schools and take ownership of the process.
A Practical, Integrated Learning Journey
The Leadership Academy runs over eight weeks and combines in-person and online learning:
- Two full-day in-person sessions (Nyansa Square, Accra)
- Six online masterclasses delivered flexibly
- Weekly collaboration sessions for peer learning and exchange
- Practical assignments directly linked to each participant’s school
This structure ensures that learning is not theoretical, but immediately applied in real school contexts.
Participants will engage with a series of masterclasses that address the most critical dimensions of digital education, including:
- Leading in a Digital Age and managing change within schools
- Moving from computer literacy to meaningful digital learning
- Building a sustainable digital learning culture
- Financing and sustaining digital transformation
- Aligning school initiatives with national education priorities
What Participants Will Gain
By the end of the Academy, participants will be able to:
- Lead digital transformation within their schools
- Develop and implement a clear digital education strategy
- Improve digital learning outcomes for teachers and students
- Plan and manage sustainable ICT systems
- Use data to monitor progress and adapt their approach
From Learning to Action
A central element of the programme is the development of a Digital Education Strategy and 90-Day Commitment Plan.
Each participant will define:
- clear priorities
- concrete actions
- measurable steps
to implement within their own school.
This ensures the Academy leads not only to learning, but to visible and sustainable change.
Building a Stronger Digital Education Ecosystem
The Leadership Academy is more than a training programme — it is part of a broader effort to strengthen digital education across Ghana.
By empowering school leaders, afiDE Ghana and GSET aim to:
- build stronger, more resilient schools
- create a network of forward-looking education leaders
- accelerate the development of meaningful digital learning
