Describe the primary role or function of each identified career pathway in one or two sentences.
Categorise the career pathways into broad areas such as clinical care, public health, health promotion, and administration.
Match specific job titles (e.g., health educator, epidemiologist) to their correct pathway descriptions when given a list.
Identify at least two career pathways in Health Education that are currently in demand in Ghana and explain why.
