Dr. Yaw Adutwum calls for greater investment in Basic STEM Education

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.”

Richie Mensah breaks silence over controversial Kuami Eugene Highlife crown
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

C.E.O of Lynx Entertainment Record Label, Richie Mensah, has opened up on the issue of veteran Highlife musician, Amakye Dede crowning Kuami Eugene as ‘Future of Highlife’ in Ghana’s music industry at the just ended 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).

Some industry players registered their displeasure about the move, saying there were other highlife artistes who equally deserved that honour.

Some suggested that Bisa Kdei or K.K. Fosu among other renowned acts who belong to the genre, were supposed to be honoured rather than Kuami Eugene, who emerged two years ago.

In subsequent reports, the manager of Amakye Dede, Akwesi Aboagye, came out to reveal that his artiste was forced to crown Lynx Entertainment signee Kuami Eugene.

But according to Richie, this is the not the first time Amakye Dede is crowing Kuami Eugene.

Speaking on Happy FM’s ‘Ayekoo After Drive’ with DJ Advicer, Richie said “Amakye Dede had a concept in the UK and he invited Kuami Eugene to perform. He met Kuami at the airport and he told Eugene how he loves the highlife he is doing. When Kuami Eugene finished performing on stage, Amakye Dede called him back and said to everyone that he doesn’t mind handing over the Highlife title to this boy because he thinks he is taking the Highlife to the next level”.

“Then he does the same thing at the VGMA then Ghanaian cannot understand why. How!!!,” he asked.

“I think someone should ask Amakye Dede or his manager because Amakye Dede did it on his own in the UK and did it again in Ghana. If he is saying Kiki Benson force him, did Kiki force him in UK as well?”.

“We have to stop these kind of things because it is appalling to see a legend Amakaye Dede applauding a young brother and Ghanaians getting bitter about it. What is the problem,” he fumed.

“If someone thinks another artiste should be crowned Highlife artiste, then they should crown him or her. I don’t under why Ghanaians are bitter”.
