It is structured to include zonal stakeholder engagement and town hall meetings across five thematic areas, which are infrastructure, quality education, regulations, accountability and governance, education financing, and research and data. Professor George K.T. Oduro, Chairman of the National Education Forum Planning Committee, announced these details during a press briefing.

The zonal engagements are set to begin in the Volta and Oti regions on February 19, with subsequent meetings planned in Accra, Cape Coast, Bolgatanga, Tamale, and Kumasi through February 26.
