Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has admitted having sleepless nights partly due to the many reforms he is leading in the sector.
The reforms span the government’s free SHS programme, double track system, developing new curriculum for basic schools as well as the introduction of teacher licensure examination.
But as Joy News Fostina Sarfo reports, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, speaking at the Jolly Phonics Conference in Accra Tuesday, told his audience that the enthusiasm in pursuit of the successful implementation of these reforms is depriving him of his beauty sleep.
Education Ministry to incorporate Jolly Phonics teaching method in basic schools
The Education ministry has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Chris Jolly, the originator of Jolly Phonics to incorporate the teaching method in basic schools across the country.
Addressing stakeholders at a dinner in Accra Tuesday Mr Jolly indicated his preparedness to train teachers in Ghana to teach reading and writing, the Jolly way.
Mr. Jolly promised to give teachers in Ghana an initial training in the teaching of Jolly Phonics free.
