One hundred and fifty teachers have begun receiving training on the new curriculum for basic schools which is expected to be implemented in September this year.
The Ghana Education Service (GES), in collaboration with the National Council for Curriculum and Assesment (NaCCA), is organising the five-day programme which is part of a series of training workshops for teachers on the standard-based curriculum.
The participants (master trainers), drawn from the GES, the NaCCA and other sectors, will in turn train all 152,000 basic school teachers in the country before the curriculum is rolled out for the 2019/2020 academic year.

The Minister of Education, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who launched the programme in Koforidua in the Eastern Region yesterday, said the new curriculum that placed the child at the centre of teaching and learning also emphasised the primacy of instructors.
