The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has directed the Ghana Education Service (GES) to ensure the full implementation of mother-tongue instruction across all schools in the country.
Speaking at the launch of the Free Tertiary Education Programme for Persons Living with Disabilities, Mr. Iddrisu said the directive forms part of President Mahama’s educational reset agenda, which seeks to strengthen the quality and inclusiveness of education in Ghana.
“I have directed the Director-General of the GES to make the use of mother-tongue instruction mandatory in all Ghanaian schools,” the Minister stated.
He explained that the policy aligns with ongoing reforms in the education sector aimed at promoting the use of indigenous languages in teaching and learning.
Mr. Iddrisu noted that the initiative is designed to enhance understanding and improve learning outcomes, particularly at the basic education level, by encouraging teachers to adopt local languages as the medium of instruction.
The Education Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to creating an education system that is both inclusive and culturally grounded, ensuring that no child is left behind due to language barriers.
