School programmes
Two Programmes. One Learning Philosophy.
Both programmes share the same practical approach (learn, build, experiment and innovate), adapted to each stage of a student's education.

Primary 4 – JHS 2 · Partnership model
How the Programme Is Funded
A simple, transparent model designed to keep the programme accessible while remaining sustainable for schools and DPE.
Suggested Student Programme Fee
GHS 200 / month
An illustrative starting point only. The exact amount is negotiable based on the school, programme structure and number of students enrolled.
Illustrative Partnership Model
DPE
60–70%
School
30–40%
A revenue-sharing example only, not every school is required to use these exact percentages. Final terms are agreed in the programme proposal.
SHS · Partnership model
A Different Model for Free SHS
Because SHS education is free, DPE engages senior high schools as an institutional partner rather than through individual student fees.
Institutional Technology Partnership
GHS 5,000 – GHS 8,000 / term
The school engages DPE through a fixed programme/service fee. Illustrative range, subject to programme scope and negotiation.
Sponsored Programme
Corporate organisations, PTAs, Old Students Associations and NGOs can sponsor the programme on behalf of the school and its students.
Advanced Optional Programme
Schools may also approve optional advanced student programmes for learners pursuing deeper technology specialisation.
FAQs
Programme & Pricing FAQs
Answers to what school leaders, parents and sponsors ask us most.
Are the programmes compulsory?
No. Both programmes are optional and extracurricular. Students and parents choose to take part.
Are the session times and group sizes fixed?
No. The suggested structures (sessions per week, hours per session, group size) are starting points. Final arrangements are agreed with each school.
Is GHS 200/month a fixed fee?
No. It is an illustrative figure. The exact amount depends on the school, programme structure and number of students, and is agreed with each school.
How do SHS partnerships work if SHS education is free?
SHS schools typically engage DPE through a fixed institutional fee per term, a sponsored programme, or an approved optional advanced programme, not individual student fees.
Is the robotics kit included in the programme fee?
No. The GHS 500 personal kit is optional and separate from programme fees. Students without a kit use DPE demonstration kits during supervised sessions.
