The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), , has announced plans to introduce a growth mindset curriculum in schools if elected president. Speaking at the launch of the party's manifesto on Sunday, August 18, 2024, he said the move would ensure that Ghanaian children are socialized to have a mindset of possibilities. He pointed out that Ghanaians need to have a mindset of possibilities instead of impossibilities, lamenting the critical lack of such a mindset, which is reflected in the absence of core values, principles, and patriotism.
"This mindset of possibilities must be inculcated in our children from home and in school. This is why we are going to introduce a growth mindset curriculum to help students build critical skills such as problem-solving, risk-taking, opportunity spotting, and design thinking.
"We must collectively have a mindset of possibilities and not impossibilities. There is a critical failure of mindset that manifests itself in the absence of core values, patriotism, and principles within our society.
