Rather children learn more than adults.Saying that they are small and can’t take more subjects is a cheat to those above 25 years in SHS who take nine subjects.

We even read 10 subjects at the JSS and wrote 10 papers at the BECE in 2002. What is Michael.Nsowah saying? An educationist like him. A one time Director General Of Ghana Education Service saying this?. Why didn’t he reduced it to Four (4) during his tenure as the DG of Education?
They are all jokers. Mmctheeeew. Mada koraa ns3mfo sei di3 moanni anny3 d3n?

What I am reading?
Please, GES never mentioned anywhere of their desire to call for a reduction in subjects. It is rather a move from the government.

Did I read that children are not able to absorb much. It is rather the opposite. This was the same move u took and removed very impressive lessons from our curricula. Subjects like cultural studies that really binds us as Ghanaians were all removed.
I decided to go back to my JSS to look for the social studies textbook to revisit the history about Ghana Empire, Mali Empire and Songhai only to realised that all those lessons are no longer part of our curricula.

Very key topics about Technical drawing and skills have been removed from and the subject now merge as one.

Instead of the country to pay much attention to technical lessons at the basic level and make sure that all schools have all the tools needed for technical skills and drawing at the basic level. Interest and attention are rather shifted to ambiguous lessons and mark my word the kind of subjects that will come out.

They are rather finding ways to do away with employing many teachers to take charge of the double track system by reducing lessons. In this case what will the remaining teachers do.

We have a big big big problem as a country.
I can sense out that the double track is probably draining the country.

I don’t have time to edit it. Read it over and over and u will understand it

serious ooooooo. but all the mps, DCs/MCes and all the big people today all did the same 8/9 courses . I remember very well that these free shs and the reduction in the number of courses is a total cheat on the previouse people who were renderd school drop-out

This move is long overdue. Reducing the subjects to 4 will stimulate effective learning and deep understanding
