The Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare, has stated that Ghana's new secondary school curriculum is flexible, providing learners with the opportunity to choose subjects that align with their strengths and interests.
Speaking on Joy News' AM Show on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, about the implementation of the curriculum, Kofi explained that, unlike the old system, learners are now allowed to select and change subjects of their choice.
He further elaborated that first-year students are assessed upon entry to identify their strengths and the subjects they are most suited to study. "The curriculum includes a remedial component for Maths and English, where diagnostic tests will be conducted upon entry to assess students' strengths.
Based on the test results, interventions can then be targeted at those who need additional support," Kofi said.
