The Government is yet to formally adopt the revised curriculum for Kindergarten to Primary Six, developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA).
According to the Minister for Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, NaCCA presented the proposed revised curriculum to the Ministry of Education last month for further consideration and input from the Ghana Education Service (GES).
Speaking at the 73rd anniversary celebration of Apam Senior High School in the Central Region, the Minister said the proposed curriculum is currently being reviewed by the GES.
He explained that after the GES completes its review, the proposal will be submitted to Cabinet for approval before it is formally adopted and implemented.
The proposed curriculum seeks to reposition basic education by placing greater emphasis on moral values, problem-solving, critical thinking, analytical skills and character development.
The Minister also reiterated that the revised curriculum will introduce emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), electronics and digital learning at the basic education level.
According to him, these changes are intended to equip Ghanaian children with the knowledge, skills, creativity and values needed to thrive in the modern world and compete effectively on the global stage.
The revised curriculum, once approved and formally adopted, is expected to provide a more relevant and future-oriented approach to basic education in Ghana, while preparing learners to respond to the changing demands of technology, society and the global economy.
