Over 300 Educators Trained in AI Integration Across Three Regions
More than 300 educators from the Northern, Ashanti, and Greater Accra regions have received hands-on training in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance teaching and learning in their classrooms. The training took place from 20th to 24th October 2025 in Tamale, Kumasi, and Accra.
Organised by International Community School (ICS) in partnership with the Ghana Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development ( Ghana ASCD) and Good Future Foundation, the initiative forms part of our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts to support quality education and strengthen digital literacy in Ghana.
The sessions focused on practical AI applications for lesson planning, resource development, assessments, and school management. Facilitators from ICS and Good Future Foundation led training on key thematic areas, including:
- Classroom Wins Now: Using AI for planning and maintaining assessment integrity
- Safeguarding, Data, and Policy: Ensuring responsible technology use in schools
- Media Literacy and AI Disinformation: Equipping students to think critically online
A significant component of the training addressed the growing challenge of AI-driven disinformation. With the rapid rise of AI-generated images, videos, and written content, educators were introduced to strategies to help students detect false or misleading information.
Participants were guided through a Verification Playbook, which encourages learners to:
- Check the surface: examine visual and audio cues carefully
- Go beyond the surface: verify the source, context, and credibility through lateral reading
- Use AI to detect AI: while remaining cautious and analytical
The discussions highlighted that disinformation is often intentional and can cause social, political, and educational harm. Facilitators emphasized that the most powerful tool we can pass on to the next generation is critical thinking, especially in a technology-driven era where the line between real and AI-generated content continues to blur. The training aligns with the United Nations’ focus on Media and Information Literacy.
As a school that has integrated AI into our curriculum since 2024 and witnessed the transformation it brings to teaching and learning, we believe in preparing tomorrow’s leaders today. While we understand that we cannot personally train every child in Ghana, initiatives like this allow us to empower more educators with up-to-date technological advancements so they, in turn, can equip learners across the country with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
