Building on Ghana's achievements in expanding education, the Education Strategic Plan sets out the vision and policies for realizing the ambition of transforming Ghana into a ‘learning nation'. It puts Ghana on the road towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and represents a deliberate reorientation towards this aim, as it replaces the previous ESP for 2010-2020.

This plan not only sets the long-term vision but also how this will be operationalized in the medium term through the accompanying Education Sector Medium Term Development Plan 2018-2021.
