GES directs basic school teachers to abandon new curriculum, revert to the old one

The Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) has revealed that the Ghana Education Service has instructed teachers to abandon the new curriculum for basic schools which was implemented barely a year ago and revert to the old one.

In an interview with Alfred Ocansey on the 3FM Sunrise Morning Show, Ayikwei Awuley Adokwei, the Director of Communications for the CCT was discontent with the directive of returning to the old curriculum because teachers are in the process of implementing the new one and a return to the old one in the middle of the implementation will negatively affect the teaching and learning process.

Ayikwei Awuley Adokwei said; “As teachers in the classroom without textbooks, now you have to refer to textbooks of the old curriculum to teach the new curriculum and it does not flow, teachers need to look at it and make adjustments before teaching and it brings a whole lot of burden on the teaching process for teachers.

“It means whatever you taught the pupils with the new curriculum for the past seven months, you have to go and take the old one and restart teaching”, he added.

It should be noted that in April 2019, new reforms for basic education were announced by the Director-General of the GES, Prof. Kwasi Opoku Amankwa.
