Bolga-Bawku Road: Contractor to Return to Site Soon—Roads Minister vowed
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has given a firm assurance to the people of Upper East Region that the contractor for the stalled Bolga-Bawku-Pulmako Road project will soon return to site. Apexnewsgh reports. The Minister made this announcement on Wednesday, June 12, during a visit to the project site at Kulaa Bridge in Bolgatanga. In his address, the Minister expressed his pleasure at inspecting the project, which he described as a vital one for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He explained that the project is divided into two phases, with Phase 1 substantially completed and Phase 2 ongoing. Phase 2 involves the construction of three important bridges along the corridor and the dualization of 1.4 km through the main town of Bolgatanga. The Minister acknowledged that the project had stalled briefly due to the contractor’s request for amendments but assured that the issue has been resolved. He expressed his confidence in the contractor, who is one of the best in the country, and assured the people of Bolgatanga, Bawku, Pusiga, and the entire Upper East Region that the contractor will return to site soon to complete the remaining work. “I am happy to assure the good people of Upper East Region that the contractor will come back to site as soon as possible and complete the rest of the work,” the Minister said. “This is my firm assurance to you.” Background Brazilian contractor, Queiroz Galvao, abruptly abandoned the Bolgatanga-Bawku-Pulmakom Road construction site in the Upper East Region on Friday, February 10, 2023. Without notice, the company packed up all its equipment and left the site, leaving local workers in the dark. Further investigation revealed that the sudden departure was due to a funding dispute between the government and the contractor, which had become a major obstacle to the project’s continuation. However, during his visit to the Upper East Region, Minister Francis Asenso-Boakye also inspected the Sandema-Chuchuluga 10km Road project, which is being constructed by Myturn. The Minister announced that the project is approximately 68% complete and expressed confidence that it will be fully completed by the end of the year. He further assured the people of the region that upon his return to Accra, he will ensure that other ongoing road projects in the area receive the necessary attention and resources to facilitate their timely completion. The Minister’s commitment aims to enhance the region’s road network and improve connectivity for residents and commuters.

New Senior High School Curriculum Aims to Instill National Values and Foster Pride
The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has unveiled a new Senior High School curriculum designed to instill national values and promote pride among Ghana’s youth. Apexnewsgh reports The comprehensive curriculum, which comprises 37 subjects, aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, and character qualities necessary for lifelong learning, employability, and a fulfilling adult life. According to Reginald George Quartey, Acting Director of Curriculum Development at NaCCA, the new curriculum focuses on providing students with multiple pathways for university program selection. “We are shifting from rigid program-based study to subject selections, allowing students to choose subjects that align with their interests and strengths, regardless of their desired program,” he explained. The curriculum also prioritizes the socio-emotional and behavioral domains, enabling students to tailor their studies according to their interests and strengths. This flexible approach eliminates the rigid structures of previous programs, allowing students to explore different fields without facing significant challenges. Professor Jonathan Fletcher, Founding Dean of the School of Education and Leadership at the University of Ghana commended the curriculum for its inclusive pedagogy. While the new curriculum has been praised for its innovative approach, concerns have been raised about the disparities in school infrastructure across the country, which may hinder effective implementation. Despite these challenges, the NaCCA remains committed to ensuring that the curriculum promotes national values and fosters pride among Ghana’s youth. Meanwhile Prof. Avea Nsoh the Executive Director of TERRE who was part of the engagement expressed satisfaction with the categorization of courses by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA). Speaking after a briefing from NaCCA officials, Prof. Nsoh praised the efforts that have gone into the categorization process, noting that a significant amount of work has been done to reach this milestone. While commending NaCCA’s efforts, Prof. Nsoh also suggested that more room should be given to incorporate Ghana’s culture and heritage into the school curriculum. He believes that this would enable children to better understand and learn about their cultural traditions. By doing so, the curriculum would be more inclusive and reflective of Ghana’s rich cultural heritage. Prof. Nsoh’s suggestion is aimed at promoting cultural awareness and preservation among the younger generation. By incorporating cultural education into the curriculum, Ghanaian children would be able to appreciate and value their cultural heritage, leading to a more culturally aware and proud society.
