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.”

Democracy Hub and CPP file lawsuit to remove Kotoka’s name from Ghana’s international airport

Democracy Hub and CPP file lawsuit to remove Kotoka’s name from Ghana’s international airport

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has urged the public to disregard fraudulent social media posts falsely suggesting the sale of lost or forgotten baggage at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

According to a statement by GACL, the post circulating on social media is completely false, orchestrated to misinform and dupe unsuspecting public and should be disregarded.

“Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) would like to emphatically reiterate that the post is completely false, orchestrated to misinform and dupe the unsuspecting public, and should thus, be disregarded”.

“In October 2024, our attention was drawn to a post circulating on social media, specifically Facebook, on an alleged sale of “lost or forgotten bags” at Kotoka International Airport (KIA). A disclaimer dated 23″ October 2024 was issued to prevent the public from being defrauded”.

“We have recently become aware of fresh attempts by these faceless individuals, once again using Facebook, to deceive the unsuspecting public into paying a specific amount of money”.

The Ghana Airport Company Limited cautioned the public to solely rely on its official and verified social media platforms for information.

“For the record, GACL has verified social media pages through which information is disseminated to the public, and at no point has that responsibility been delegated to a third party”.

GACL says it dissociates itself from the post while reiterating its commitment to protecting and safeguarding the interest of all.
