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 Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has expressed frustration over the delay in the submission of the final list of deputy ministers to Parliament.

He questioned why President John Dramani Mahama has not fulfilled his public commitment.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, March 18, Mr. Afenyo-Markin reminded the House that the President, while swearing in a batch of deputy ministers last Wednesday, had assured that the final list would be sent to Parliament within the week.

He said a week later, the list was yet to be received.

“Mr. Speaker, you just said there is no message from the President, but Mr. Speaker today is Tuesday. Last Wednesday, was when the President swore in the deputy ministers, and the media reported him to have said that he was sending the last four of his list of deputy ministerial nominees to Parliament. And I actually watched the video as well apart from the media report and Mr. President he referred to this week and he was speaking on Wednesday at the swearing-in at the Jubilee House that he was going to send the list to Parliament.
So Mr. Speaker saying that you have not received any communication from the presidency well I find it strange,” he said.

He emphasized that the President, as the leader of government business, must keep his commitments, and it was the duty of Parliament to hold him accountable.

The Minority Leader urged the Speaker and the Majority side to demand the list from the Presidency, stressing that government business in Parliament must not be stalled due to unfulfilled promises.
