Overview of Ghana Education System
• Six – three – three - four (6-3-3-4) structure. • six years of primary education;
• three years of junior secondary education;
• three years of senior secondary education;
• four years of university courses.
• Primary: playschool, primary and lower secondary level education
• Secondary: upper secondary and vocational training and education
• Tertiary: colleges, training institutes and universities that offer graduate,
postgraduate, diploma, higher diploma, and doctorate courses.
Mapping for SES Education

Institutions
• 7 public universities and other
private universities
• Private colleges major
universities in the US, UK,
China, and India
• Courses aligned with SES
Vocational training in Ghana: MoE Cells

Continuos Professional Development (CPD)• The CPD programs are certification programs run by various
organizations like ASHRAE, CIBSE, AEE, etc.
• Provide credential to professionals and recognition to work as a certified professional in the field.
• A few of the CPD courses are certified energy auditor, certified energy manager, etc.

Gap assessment for SES in Ghana
• Trained professionals with required skill set is missing along with lack of infrastructure (labs) to teach energy efficiency.
• Energy efficiency related gap is much higher than renewable energy and energy management gap.
• Sustainable energy must be implemented in educational sector through policy level intervention.
• Deliver the participants with all the required knowledge and skills.
• Universities align with theoretical aspects of SES, but access to equipment and infrastructure is a problem.
