Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu has announced that the use of Ghanaian mother tongue instruction is now compulsory in all schools across the country.
Speaking at the launch of the Free Tertiary Education for Persons with Disabilities initiative in Accra, the Minister issued a firm directive to the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to ensure immediate and strict enforcement of the new policy.
“I am directing the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service and the GES that from today, teacher use of mother tongue instruction is now compulsory in all Ghanaian schools,” Mr. Iddrisu declared.
“The GES is to ensure strict enforcement of this. 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 emphasised that the directive forms part of President John Mahama’s “Reset Agenda,” which seeks to restore national pride, deepen cultural roots, and reimagine the education system to better serve Ghana’s developmental aspirations.
