The Educate Africa Institute (EAI) has launched a blistering attack at the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for what it describes as "wildly reducing the value of education in the country.
The group noted that the government has partially trained teachers and has furnished over 150,000 teacher resource packs that contain a summary of the curriculum.
The group also has informed the general public that the old education policy has been changed but on the grounds, that it's a fallacy.
According to what EAI has gathered, for over two and half years now, there are no new teaching and learning materials including textbooks. And, so the Ghanaian teachers are being forced to continue to teach with the old but limited materials to deplete the teaching periods.
The group disclosed this in a strongly worded letter copied to the Minister of Education, Ghana Education Service Council, Director General of the Ghana Education Service, General Secretary of Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National President of National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and National President for Coalition of Concerned Teachers Ghana (CCT GHANA).
Signed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)of Educate Africa Institute (EAI) who doubles as an Educationist, Mr. William Boadi, the three-page letter which has the Soireenews. com said "We did live and secrete interviews with most teachers and pupils/ students across the below sixteen (16) regions as to whether they have all the needed materials to facilitate teaching and learning in schools both public and private. The TLMs mean Teaching and Learning Materials."
It added that "Now, we need to know about this, school is a well-established institution for formal education. And, the process of going through the academic disciplines to acquire knowledge and skill is what we called it education.
For example, the group noted that visiting the laboratories, computer labs, audio/visual materials usage, puzzle toys for kindergarten, playing equipment like a seesaw, football parks, volleyball courts for physical education (P.E), playing piano, reading textbooks, etc. helps comprehensive teaching and learning in schools.
The group stated that the new curriculum may turn out to be a mirage if the necessary teaching and learning materials are not provided in time.
