Education-centered critical policy analysis of AI: Ghana's AI strategy as a case
Ghana's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy for 2025-2035 has been analyzed using a new framework that focuses on education. The strategy is ambitious and emphasizes AI literacy, youth skills, and workforce readiness, but it lacks specific plans for implementing these goals at the school level. Teachers' roles, pre-service education, curriculum development, and assessment guidance are underdeveloped. The analysis also highlights concerns about transparency and coherence

Why it matters: This study matters to researchers and engineers working on AI policy because it provides a framework for evaluating national AI strategies' impact on education. Ghana's strategy is used as a case study, but the findings have implications for other countries developing their own AI policies.
