Ghana’s Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has established a 13-member steering committee to review the curriculum for kindergarten to primary six. Apexnewsgh reports
The committee’s primary objective is to correct distortions in Ghana’s political history and promote responsible citizenship.
During the commissioning ceremony, Minister Iddrisu emphasized the need for the revised curriculum to reflect truth, integrity, and national values. He specifically highlighted the importance of accurately presenting Ghana’s political history, particularly the significant contributions of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in the country’s struggle for independence.
This move comes after concerns were raised over attempts by the previous administration to downplay Dr. Nkrumah’s role and promote other figures.
Beyond historical accuracy, the Minister tasked the committee with embedding digital innovation, ethics, integrity, and critical thinking into the foundational educational system. The revised curriculum aims to produce future citizens who are not only knowledgeable but also responsible and morally upright.
The committee comprises experts in education, curriculum development, and pedagogy. They are expected to undertake a thorough review process to align Ghana’s basic education with modern educational standards and national development goals.
With this initiative, Ghana’s education system is poised to undergo significant transformations under Minister Iddrisu’s leadership.
