The eighth and ninth editions of the African Science Academy (ASA) Maths Masterclass goes to the Upper East and Upper West Regions of Ghana on 23rd November, and 25th November, 2022, respectively.

ASA, with support from Tullow Oil, and in collaboration with the Regional Directorate of the Ghana Education Service, are organizing the one-day hands-on capacity building for 70 senior high school mathematics teachers drawn from all the secondary schools in the Upper East Region.

In the Upper West region, a total of 60 high school mathematics teachers have been selected from the region to take part in the programme.



The Math Masterclass is an educational symposium designed to be an occasion where senior high school Math teachers share, discuss and widen their scope of knowledge in addition to coming up with more engaging and practical ways of teaching Mathematics.

This edition features an equal representation of male and female mathematics teachers in the region. The math masterclass would equip and steer the teachers through effective teaching techniques and how to teach some challenging math concepts using technology and direct instruction.

Since its inception in 2017, the ASA Math Masterclass has been held across several regions in the country, making an impact in the educational lives of over 420 teachers and more than 45,000 students.



Founded by the African Gifted Foundation, the African Science Academy is an all-girls STEM school for females all across Africa who have a profound interest in Maths and Science. ASA also has a dream of changing the mindset of Ghanaians-especially females towards STEM education and where possible, assist them in finding their passion in these fields.
