Mother Tongue Instruction Now Compulsory in Ghanaian Schools
Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced that the use of Ghanaian mother tongue instruction is now compulsory in all schools across the country.
Speaking at the launch of the Free Tertiary Education for Persons with Disabilities initiative in Accra, the Minister directed the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to ensure immediate enforcement of the new policy.
"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,"
According to the Minister, this policy is necessary because
"The Ghanaian child was not born into an English family but into a proud Ashanti, Akan family and deserves to learn in that language."
