The former Minister of Education and Member of Parliament for the Bosomtwe Constituency, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has stressed that education should not merely focus on children attending school, but more importantly, on what they are learning and what they become as a result of that learning. Speaking on the Epa Hoa Daben show with Bismark Brown on Happy 98.9 FM, Dr. Adutwum highlighted that improving a country's education system requires more than ensuring enrollment, the real emphasis should be on the content taught and its impact on students. He advocated for the implementation of effective educational content and modern teaching approaches to transform the sector. He specifically referenced New Bloom’s Taxonomy, a framework that guides educators on how to teach for deeper understanding and application, rather than rote memorization. Dr. Adutwum explained that Bloom's Taxonomy consists of six hierarchical levels: Remember, where students recall basic facts; Understand, where they explain concepts; Apply, where they use knowledge in new situations; followed by Analyze, Evaluate, and Create where students develop critical thinking, assess ideas, and produce original work. He criticized the over-reliance on rote learning or "chew and pour" in Ghana’s educational system, noting that while countries like the United States focus on higher-order thinking skills like analyzing, evaluating, and creating, Ghana tends to prioritize only remembering, understanding, and applying. Reflecting on his tenure as Minister of Education, Dr. Adutwum recalled introducing curriculum reforms based on Bloom's Taxonomy about four years ago. The first batch of students under the new curriculum was expected to write their BECE in the previous year. However, upon reviewing WAEC’s examination questions, he realized they were not aligned with the new framework. He urged the examination body to adapt accordingly, describing the misalignment as “a clear case where the tail is wagging the dog.” Dr. Adutwum asserted that teaching, learning, and assessment must be designed to broaden students' thinking not just to pass exams, but to prepare them for real-life challenges. He warned that an Education Minister unaware of this fundamental principle risks overseeing what he described as “education to nowhere.”

The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has underscored the significance of the party’s National Thank You Tour, describing it as a vital initiative to foster unity among party members.

Speaking at the National Thank You Tour on Wednesday, April 23, at the party’s headquarters in Accra, Dr. Bawumia noted that this is not the first time the NPP has embarked on such a tour following an electoral defeat.

He emphasized that it has been a longstanding tradition for both parliamentary and presidential candidates to tour the country to express their gratitude to the people.

He referenced historical precedents, mentioning former leaders such as Adu Boahen and former President John Agyekum Kufuor, who also undertook similar tours. Following in their footsteps, Dr. Bawumia explained that the delay in his own Thank You Tour was due to the party awaiting the report from the Professor Mike Oquaye Committee, which was tasked with analyzing the causes of the party’s loss and recommending the way forward.

Dr. Bawumia took the opportunity to express his deep appreciation to former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for selecting him as his running mate for four consecutive elections, a historic feat in Ghanaian politics. He also thanked him for the opportunity to serve as Vice President for two terms and for his unwavering support throughout the 2024 campaign.

He explained that the decision to commence the Thank You Tour at the party’s headquarters was to first acknowledge and appreciate the hardwork and dedication of party staff, who have been instrumental in the party’s activities.

Dr. Bawumia called on all NPP members and supporters to unite in purpose and work together as the party restructures in preparation for a victorious comeback in the 2028 elections.
