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.”

Chairman Wontumi warns NPP appointees: prove Your loyalty or we come after you

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Bosiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has issued a strong warning to government appointees, urging them to prove their loyalty by working effectively to demonstrate their allegiance to the NPP or face their wrath.

Speaking on a Kumasi based radio station, he recalled that in 2016, the party had no ministers, CEOs, or board chairmen stating that those appointtees secured those positions only after winning the elections.

He emphasized that if appointees fail to justify the reasons for their appointments, they will face consequences.

Chairman Wontumi challenged these appointees to actively campaign and do so effectively, as successful efforts will be evident to all.

He pointed out that individuals like Dr. Bawumia and Samira Bawumia do not need to declare their campaigning efforts because their actions speak for themselves, just like Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate.

He highlighted that Dr. Bawumia, as the flagbearer of the party is actively proving why he should be the next president, while Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh and Samira Bawumia are equally demonstrating why they should be vice president and first lady, respectively.

Even the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo according to Chairman Wontumi, is working hard to solidify his role as the leader of the party to ensure an NPP victory.

Chairman Wontumi added that those who supported Dr. Bawumia during the primaries must now focus on helping him achieve the ultimate goal of becoming president. He stressed that while their support during the primaries was commendable, it remains incomplete if they do not contribute to Dr. Bawumia’s presidential campaign.

He also mentioned that even those who did not initially support Dr. Bawumia, like Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, are now working to ensure his victory.
