Quality kindergarten education can help eliminate examination malpractice - Director
Adizah Tassah, Director of Early Childhood Education, called for greater investment and prioritisation of kindergarten (KG) education while speaking to the media during a capacity-building workshop for Early Childhood Coordinators and Deputy Directors in charge of Monitoring and Supervision in Kumasi. She described KG education as the most effective long-term strategy to eradicate examination malpractice in Ghana's education system. She stated, "It is not true that kindergarten classrooms are meant for unqualified teachers or elderly people. At every stage of education, especially at the KG level, pupils deserve qualified and competent teachers because quality education begins from the foundation."
The training is part of a nationwide initiative expected to benefit more than 32,000 kindergarten teachers across Ghana. Mrs. Tassah noted that the country's failure to prioritise early childhood education has negatively affected the quality of learning at the foundational level, but significant efforts are now being made to reverse the trend. She urged newly trained teachers not to reject postings to kindergarten classrooms. The Ashanti Regional Director of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Dr. William Kwame Amankrah Appiah, disclosed that the region has implemented several interventions.
