His response comes after comments by Kofi Bentil, Vice President of IMANI Africa, who suggested that STEM education had collapsed and was no longer a national focus.
Reacting in a Facebook post on April 23, 2026, Fenyi dismissed the assertion and sought to clarify what STEM truly represents.
“Bro, STEM simply means Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Nothing deep, and not some sudden inventions.
These are normal subjects that have existed over 1 billion years, but somehow, you people made it seem Science and Maths were introduced in Ghana in 2022,” he wrote.
Fenyi argued that STEM is not a new concept and should not be framed as a recent innovation. He further pointed out that infrastructure established to support STEM education remains intact and functional.
"You built some 7 schools and named them STEM. Nobody has destroyed those buildings, they are still there. Students are there learning." Daniel Fenyi wrote.
The GES PRO also accused critics of misrepresenting the situation, insisting that the narrative surrounding STEM education has been exaggerated to create a false impression among the public.
The exchange highlights growing debate within Ghana’s education space, as policymakers, analysts, and stakeholders continue to clash over the direction and impact of reforms in science and technical education.
