The Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has announced plans by government to change the current brown and yellow uniforms worn by pupils in public schools across the country.
Speaking at a forum titled ‘The free SHS story’ in Accra on April 25, 2024, Dr Yaw Adutwum revealed that this initiative is part of a larger set of transformational efforts being undertaken by the government.
“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,” stated the Minister.

Furthermore, Dr Yaw Adutwum hinted at a change in the color scheme of the physical appearance of basic schools throughout the nation.
“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,” he indicated.
The move to change the uniform colors and to revamp the schools’ appearance aims to make basic education more inviting and appealing to students, parents, and the general public.
