Public Basic schools in the Upper East Region are still without textbooks more than four years after the rollout of a standards-based curriculum at the basic school level (primary and junior high schools), forcing teachers to improvise and rely on the internet to teach pupils, according to Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana ( CCT- Ghana) in the Upper East Region.

In a recent interview with Bolgatanga Dreamz FM, the Upper East Regional Chairman of the CCT-Ghana, Richard Sunday Yinbil, lamented the struggle of teachers in executing their tasks without textbooks and other teaching and learning materials.

“We don’t have textbooks. As far as this curriculum[ the Standards-Based curriculum] is concerned, we don’t have…I go onto the internet, and download books that are there. I buy data, go onto the internet, and ask my colleagues. So if go to our platform, people are asking ‘Can you help me with this or that’. Because some go onto the internet and don’t get the right information,” Richard Sunday Yinbil lamented.

He added that even though teachers go to great lengths to teach pupils without textbooks, their efforts go unnoticed and unrewarded by the Government.

In September 2019, the Government began the implementation of a Standards-Based curriculum at the pretertiary level, beginning with primary and junior high schools. But the implementation has been fraught with challenges, especially without the requisite teaching materials such as textbooks for pupils and teachers.

The government has failed to supply textbooks to all schools despite countless promises and assurances from the Minister of Education and other Government functionaries

The USAID/Ghana Strengthening Accountability in Ghana’s Education System (SAGES) Systems Strengthening Activity has been launched to assist the Ministry of Education (MoE) and its agencies to strengthen accountability in 1,254 primary schools in the country.

The SAGES Systems Strengthening Activity, which is a five-year (April 01, 2023 to March 30, 2028) $50 million Cooperative Agreement with the Ghana Mission of USAID, supports the MoE’s objective to strengthen accountability mechanisms in the education sector as outlined in the Education Strategic Plan for 2018-2030.

It is being implemented in the 17 USAID Zones of Influence Districts in the Northern, North East, Upper East, and Upper West Regions, and will work directly with all public basic schools and their communities in the area.

It is to deliver capacity-strengthening interventions for regional and district-level staff, including District Directors of Education, and School Improvement Support Officers to strengthen district, school, and community engagement with the Education Accountability Framework (EAF).

Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE) and its consortium partners – AfriKids, Community Development Alliance, Crown Agents, Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition, and School for Life are the implementing partners.

Madam Rose Tchwenko, Country Director for CARE, speaking (virtual) during the launch of the SAGES Systems Strengthening Activity in Tamale on Monday, said it would build on the past successes to improve learning outcomes for children in the country.

In its analysis of the education sector, the MoE identified a lack of accountability as one of the primary causes of poor learning outcomes in primary schools in the country. Consequently, the MoE prioritized strengthening accountability mechanisms as a primary means of enhancing education service delivery and developed the EAF to guide the effective implementation of the strategy.

While the EAF has been validated, it is not yet operational. The EAF will be operationalized as part of this SAGES Systems Strengthening Activity to assist and collaborate with the MoE and its agencies to strengthen accountability and improve education service delivery in the country.

Madam Tchwenko said the SAGES Systems Strengthening Activity was important because of the centrality of education to the future of the country.

Nana Baffuor Awuah, Director, Pre-Tertiary, MoE, urged all partners and stakeholders to come on board with their expertise to ensure effective implementation of the Activity to achieve the desired results.

Mr Jonathan Thomsen, Deputy Office Director, Office of Education, USAID Ghana, said the SAGES Systems Strengthening Activity was a manifestation of the United States (U.S) Government’s commitment to support the Government of Ghana to achieve its education goals.

Mr Thomsen said the Activity would empower communities to demand quality education and expressed confidence that it would make a significant and lasting impact on education in the country. Alhaji Shani Alhassan Saibu, Northern Regional Minister, whose speech was read on his behalf, commended the U.S. government for its relentless efforts at ensuring quality education for children in the country.

Sagnar-Naa Yakubu Abdulai, Paramount Chief of Sagnarigu Traditional Area, whose speech was read on his behalf, was positive that the SAGES Systems Strengthening Activity would yield the desired impact.
