In a bold move to revolutionize education in Ghana, the Ministry of Education has officially launched a dedicated television station, “Channel MOE.” This new initiative aims to provide quality educational content to students, teachers, parents, and the broader public, with the goal of transforming education and fostering national development.
The launch ceremony, which took place recently, was attended by key figures in the education sector, including Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Minister of Education and Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe. In his address, Dr. Adutwum expressed his enthusiasm for the station, noting its potential to enhance learning experiences and provide critical educational resources to people across the globe. “This platform will help disseminate valuable information and educational materials to students and teachers, no matter their location,” he said.
Dr. Adutwum praised the Chief Executive Officer of the Center for National Distance Learning and Open Schooling (CENDLOS), Nana Gyamfi Agyabour, and the staff of the agency for their hard work in bringing the station to life. He specifically acknowledged their efforts in the successful procurement, installation, and test transmission of the station, which had been running for several months prior to its official launch.
The Education Minister highlighted the importance of the station in supporting the teaching and learning process. “We envision a future where children from all walks of life—whether from wealthy or less privileged backgrounds—have access to the same quality education,” Dr. Adutwum said. He emphasized that “Channel MOE” will offer lessons on television, allowing students to benefit from quality education, even if they are unable to attend physical classes.

The station’s impact, according to Dr. Adutwum, will not be limited to just educational content but will also serve as a valuable tool for promoting information that can improve the lives of its viewers. “We are building one Ghana, where quality education is accessible to every child, and through this, we hope to unlock the potential of our future leaders,” he explained.
The launch was also an opportunity for the Minister to express gratitude to the various development partners who contributed to the project. Organizations such as Planned International, UNICEF, and CEMFED Ghana were recognized for their support in helping make the launch of Channel MOE a reality.
Nana Gyamfi Agyabour, the CEO of CENDLOS, shared in the excitement of the launch, emphasizing that the station would serve a dual purpose: educating and entertaining its audience. He commended Dr. Adutwum for his visionary leadership and tireless work in realizing the station’s creation. “It is through his exceptional leadership that we have reached this significant milestone,” Agyabour said.
As part of the event, Dr. Adutwum also took the opportunity to call on Ghanaians to show their support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December 7 elections, urging voters to back the government’s ongoing efforts to improve the nation’s education system and other key sectors.
“Channel MOE” is a pivotal step forward in Ghana’s educational journey, offering a platform for innovative teaching and learning, and promoting the country’s commitment to quality education for all. With this new station, the future of education in Ghana is brighter than ever.
