Compulsory Use of Mother Tongue in Ghanaian Schools
The Education Minister has directed the Ghana Education Service (GES) to enforce the compulsory use of mother tongue in all schools.
"I am directing the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service and the GES that from today, teacher use of mother tongue instruction is now compulsory in all Ghanaian schools,"
The Minister made this announcement during the launch of the "Free Tertiary Education for Persons with Disabilities" initiative in Accra, emphasizing that the directive takes immediate effect.
The Minister tasked the GES to ensure strict enforcement of the directive, describing it as crucial to Ghana's educational and cultural transformation.
"The GES is to ensure strict enforcement of this. The Ghanaian child was not born into an English family but into a proud Ashanti, Akan family and deserves to learn in that language,"
The Minister's directive aims to promote the use of local languages in education.
