The Ministry of Education, through its agencies, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) and Ghana Education Service (GES), has announced its readiness to roll out the new secondary education curriculum when school reopens for the 2024-2025 academic year.
The new curriculum covers Senior High School (SHS), Senior High Technical School (SHTS) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) nationwide.
The preparation has involved extensive stakeholder engagements to gather insights on what the curriculum should emphasise and achieve and a collaborative process which saw the involvement of over 300 experts from across the country, all contributing to the development of a robust curriculum designed to shape the future of education in Ghana.
Director-General of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), Prof. Yayra Dzakadzie, said that this was the first time that Ghana had developed a Senior High School Curriculum that focuses on Shared Ghanaian values, attempting to educate a generation of Ghanaian youth who would love and be proud of our country as well as contribute effectively and efficiently towards its development.
A critical component of the planning phase has been the focus on teacher preparation. Weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) sessions are continually organized to equip teachers with the necessary skills to implement the curriculum effectively.
