Mr. William Boadi - Educate Ghana Boss
The Research and Analysis team for Educate Ghana Summit has suggested that, implementation of the New Curriculum by GES in next academic year must come with all educational needs to make the new curriculum more useful.
Mr. Boadi William therefore, stated that, the new curriculum may turn to be a mirage if the necessary teaching and learning materials are not in existence. The outstanding Educationist said this on 11th of July 2019 when talking on midday news on Eastern FM, Koforidua.
He outlined the following reasons;
1. Lack of Teaching and Learning Materials:
Sadly, 'Ama Ghana' is 62 years old but most schools in Ghana lack teaching and learning materials(audio/visual) and serene environment that supposed to enhance effective education.
Many schools don't have access to internet and computers but they are learning Information and Communication Technology.
2. Lack of Infrastructure:
There are still some schools under trees and in dilapidated structures.
Many schools also lack furniture.
Akim Akokoaso SECTECH in the Ofoase Ayirebi constituency, Eastern Region, is a typical example. They lack desks and modern science laboratory.
3. The Teachers who are the pivot in terms of education are still crying for better conditions of service. Psychologically, they are not morally motivated to deliver very well in the classrooms. They need better treatment.
Besides, the concentration should not be on those in the cities and towns alone. Because, at the end of the day, those in both the city schools and villages are going to write the same exams.
On the more serious note, our culture as a country is weighty and we must not compromise. We need not be in haste to implement any educational policy that may not stand the test of time.
