Telecel Ghana showcased its commitment to deaf inclusion during the 2026 International Week For The Deaf celebrations in Accra.

The event, themed around multilingual inclusive education for deaf learners in tertiary institutions, gathered educators, policymakers and disability advocates to discuss practical accessibility solutions.

Mercy Akude, Telecel’s General Manager for Commercial Operations, highlighted the company's long-standing partnership with the Ghana National Association of the Deaf since 2017.

Akude stressed that inclusion requires creating opportunities for full societal participation, citing the SuperCare Initiative as part of this vision.

The Ministry of Education’s Nana Baffuor Awuah represented the Minister, reaffirming government support for inclusive education strategies.
