The Creative Arts and Design Education programme is designed to fill the wide gap of training competent creative arts teachers who have adequate knowledge in Visual Arts, Music and Theatre Arts, and are capable of implementing the pre-tertiary creative arts curriculum in Ghana.
Teachers trained from this programme will be very helpful to the Ghana Education Service in that regard.
