Dr. Vincent Nartey Kyere, E-waste Team Leader at the Ministry of Environment, Science, and Technology, told the Ghana News Agency the initiative aims to equip young people with sustainable waste management skills and create a structured recycling system.<\/p>\n<p>Three Schools of Hygiene in Accra, Tamale, and Ho have incorporated e-waste management into their syllabi with support from the German Government, KfW, and Mountain Research Institute. Dr. Kyere said plans were underway to include similar content in technical schools and university programmes. \u201cWe believe that when students are exposed to e-waste recycling early, they can develop the expertise and mindset needed to manage it professionally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis approach will help formalize the informal sector and create green jobs while addressing the environmental risks posed by unsafe e-waste disposal,\u201d he said. The initiative includes short courses for informal workers like scrap dealers, many of whom are embracing safer recycling practices. \u201cSome scrap dealers have testified that they no longer resort to burning e-waste, but there must be systems in place to absorb and process the materials they collect,\u201d Dr. Kyere noted.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2025\/05\/05\/ghana-says-its-integrating-e-waste-recycling-into-tertiary-education-curriculum\/\">Ghana Business News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-708\/\">Ghana says it\u2019s integrating e-waste recycling into tertiary education curriculum<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[794,575,4065,6078],"class_list":["post-139430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-education","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ewaste","tag-ghana"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139430\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
