Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has unveiled a government initiative to repaint all public basic schools.

The current brown and yellow colours will be replaced with blue and white as part of a rebranding strategy to improve the schools' aesthetics.

This move is part of a broader effort to revitalize basic education in Ghana and make it more attractive.

“We are switching to blue and white. We are painting all the schools to give them an attractive outlook. This is the transformation Ghana deserves and it is coming,” the minister disclosed during a forum titled “The free SHS story” in Accra on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.

He also announced plans to replace the current brown and yellow uniforms worn by students in public basic schools.

“We are changing the uniforms of public basic schools in the country. The yellow and brown that you see now, you will see no more. Reformation is coming to a community near you, and you will see it.”

The Education Minister elaborated that this initiative is part of the government's broader efforts to demonstrate that its priorities extend beyond secondary education alone.
