GES tasks writers on learners materials for new curriculum subjects

The management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has tasked writers drawn from 17 National Subject Associations to produce high-quality learning materials for all the subjects in the new second-cycle school curriculum.

The Senior High Technical School (SHTS) and STEM learning materials, according to the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, Dr Eric Nkansah are being worked on by the National Subject Associations writers at Ejisu.

In a social media post sighted by Thisterm.com, he said the new second-cycle school curriculum developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) and Ghana Education Service is piloted in 33 Senior High Schools

“This morning, June 27th, 2024, I visited a team of writers working on the Learner Materials for the new SHS, SHTS, and STEM Curriculum at Ejisu.

The writers, drawn from 17 National Subject Associations, have been tasked with producing high-quality learning materials for all the subjects in the new SHS, SHTS, and STEM curricula.

The new curriculum is currently being trialled by NaCCA and Ghana Education Service (GES) in 33 schools. I applaud these writers for being a part of the education transformation agenda,” the GES Director-General said in a Facebook post.

In a related development, Ghana Education Service (GES) says the National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NaCCA) has integrated Climate change and the Green economy into the basic school curriculum to promote a clean environment.

“This makes Ghana one of the countries in the world to integrate Climate Change and Green Economy into our formal school curriculum

Our basic school teachers have been trained to mentor the children to understand climate change and green economy issues,” the Director-General of the GES, Dr Eric Nkansah, said at the Africa Student for Climate Action (ASCA) launch.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) Director-General also said that the Senior High School (SHS0 curriculum had been completed and was currently being piloted in some 33 second-cycle schools across the country.

“Again, the new SHS curriculum is very well integrated with climate change and green economy issues,” he said, adding that the government was confident that such integration would help the students develop a deeper interest in climate change and green economy issues.
