FAQs
Is this the same as studying Robotics Engineering?+
No. Robotics Engineering trains you to design and build robotic systems as an engineer, while this program trains you specifically to teach robotics concepts to secondary school students.
Do I need prior robotics or engineering experience to study this?+
No, the program builds the necessary engineering and robotics knowledge from a solid foundation, alongside teaching skills.
Where will I be able to teach after graduating?+
Ghana's specialized STEM senior high schools are the primary setting, though general secondary schools introducing STEM electives may also value this specialization.
Do I need to pass a licensing exam to teach?+
Yes, like other education graduates, you'll need to pass the Ghana Teacher Licensure Exam (GTLE) and register with the National Teaching Council.
Is this a well-established or newer program?+
It's part of Ghana's newer wave of specialized STEM teacher training, developed alongside the country's growing investment in dedicated STEM schools.
