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.”

Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, has suggested that Minority Leader, Mr. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, could take up a deputy ministerial position, as he appears overly concerned about the delay in the President’s submission of ministerial appointments.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, March 18, Mr. Ayariga downplayed the urgency of the appointments, insisting that the President would submit the list at the appropriate time.

He dismissed the persistent questioning on the matter by Mr. Afenyo-Markin implying that raising concerns might be that he is personally invested in the appointments.

“If he is desirous, he should tell us. Mr. Speaker, if he wants an appointment from the President, he should come and tell me privately.

I know he has never been a minister, and even when his government was in power, they never considered him for a ministerial role,” Mr. Ayariga stated.

He further joked that Mr. Afenyo-Markin could be offered a deputy ministerial role in the environment sector.

“The Environment Minister says he doesn’t have a deputy. You can come and be his deputy,” he noted.

The Majority Leader reiterated that the President is not bound by any external timelines and will release his ministerial appointments when ready.

“Commitments made outside this House by any member of the Executive are not necessarily matters that we must comply with in terms of the timelines indicated,” he added.

His comments come in response to concerns from the Minority leader, Afenyo-Markin and regarding the delay in the appointment of ministers.

Mr. Ayariga maintained that there is no cause for alarm, urging Parliament to focus on other pressing matters.
