Promoting effective science teaching and learning in Ghana has become an issue of immense concern. This has been necessitated by Ghanaian students’ poor performance at the national and international levels. Producing teachers and education practitioners who understand what it takes to improve quality education and manage its delivery effectively is often lacking. The courses in this programme are designed to equip those who wish to begin a career in teaching Physics at the senior high level with skills to maximise student learning outcomes.

The University of Ghana’s Distance Education Programme is located at the School of Continuing and Distance Education (SCDE), Legon. It was initiated in 1995 and formally launched on November 23, 2007. The first batch of 906 students were formally matriculated on February 8, 2008. Student population as at December 2018 was 7149. The programme is currently offered in eleven Centers in Ghana, namely Accra, Kumasi, Bolgatanga, Takoradi, Tamale, Tema, Koforidua, Wa, Tsito, Sunyani and Cape Coast.

The School of Information and Communication Studies (SICS) aims at improving and extending the frontiers of Information and Communication dissemination and management through effective teaching, learning and research. The School focuses on developing world- class students who are skilled, versatile, creative and ready to take up positions in local and global information and communication industries.

Adult Education is concerned with providing the knowledge that improves professional qualifications to achieve civic, social, moral and cultural attitudes and skills for performing responsibilities and for progress in all spheres of life (UNESCO). The programme draws from across the Arts and Sciences to study key issues explored through four elective specialty areas: Distance Education, Literacy Education, Community Development and Peace Education.
