A total of 150 teachers within the Ga South Municipality have been celebrated for promoting play-based learning methodology in their classrooms.
Each teacher received some branded paraphernalia from the international organisation for employing play in their lesson delivery.
There were 40 schools in all with each nominating four of their best teachers who have been successful in applying the methodology in class.
“The heads of those [40] schools singularly nominated their best teachers and the list was jointly certified by their Circuit Supervisors and the Ga South Municipal Education Directorate,” Acting Ga South Project Officer of Right To Play Ghana, Hilda explained.
Play-based learning is the future
At the ceremony held last Wednesday, Programmes Manager of Right To Play Ghana, George Ahiable charged both teachers and education officials to own the methodology by ensuring its implementation.
“Play-based learning methodology is the present and future of quality primary education and many studies have pointed to this,” he said.
Mr Ahiable commended the Ministry of Education for fashioning out the new Standard Basic curriculum which he said emphasised the use of games in lesson delivery at the primary level.
But the mere acknowledgement of the methodology in the new primary level curriculum is not enough to ensure the implementation of the methodology, he conceded.
There must be a conscious and deliberate effort by teachers and education officials to ensure that play is adopted in lessons delivery across the country, Mr Ahiable noted.
