Set aside Fridays for Ghanaian heritage and culture in public schools – Lecturer urges Education Ministry
A Senior Lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) Dr Collins Kankam Kwarteng has proposed a novel approach to promoting Ghanaian cultural heritage and values in the country’s education system.
Dr. Kwarteng, speaking on OTEC FM’s morning show “Nyansapo,” on Monday, suggested that the Ministry of Education set aside every Friday for students and teachers to discuss and explore Ghanaian cultural practices exclusively.
According to Dr. Kwarteng, dedicating one day a week to Ghanaian heritage and culture will help instill cultural discipline in the youth.
He believes that this initiative will enable students to appreciate and understand the significance of Ghanaian cultural practices, thereby promoting national identity and values.
Dr. Kwarteng emphasized the need for deliberate policies to preserve and promote Ghana’s cultural heritage.
He suggested that policymakers ensure the curriculum accommodates this initiative, allowing students to engage with Ghanaian cultural practices regularly.
This, he believes, will contribute to the development of well-rounded individuals with a strong sense of national identity.
