The Education Minister has directed the Ghana Education Service (GES) to enforce the compulsory use of mother tongue in all schools.
The Ghanaian child was not born into an English family but into a proud Ashanti, Akan family and deserves to learn in that language.
The Minister made this announcement during the launch of the "Free Tertiary Education for Persons with Disabilities" initiative in Accra, stating that the directive takes immediate effect.
The GES has been tasked to ensure strict enforcement of this directive, which is considered crucial to Ghana’s educational and cultural transformation.
