The Ghana Education Service has now introduced Tug of War and Pillow fight as an official Sport in Basic and Senior High Schools in the Country.
On 2nd May, 2023, the Ghana Tug of War/ Pillow Fight Federation wrote a letter to the Director General of Ghana Education Service (GES) requesting Approval of the Sports.
In a letter sighted by Happyghana.com dated 18th May, 2023 GES approved the sports and it’s now official sports in schools.
Following the approval, GES has entreated the Federation to liaise with the PE & Sports Unit to enable the Federation plan and organize how to roll out programmes and activities for the introduction of the two (2) sports to unearth, nurture young talents and encourage them to participate in our Districts and Schools without disrupting teaching and learning periods.
“Accordingly, Management is by this letter requesting Regional Directors to officially inform Metro, Municipal and District Directors and Heads of Second Cycle Institutions that approval has been granted for the introduction of Tug of War and Pillow Fight in our schools.
It is the expectation of Management that the Federation will strictly adhere to the directives to ensure smooth and continuous running of the sports in our schools,” a letter signed by Stephen Kwaku Owusu, Acting Deputy Director-General, said.
