Pushing bilingual education
Ms. Ama Atta Sagoe, Proprietress of Ecole Francaise, is hoping to persuade Ghanaian parents that bilingually educated children will be at a significant advantage moving forward. Sagoe argues that knowing an additional language will be quite beneficial as the Ghana becomes more globally integrated. Given Ghana’s geographic proximity to francophone nations such as Cote d’Ivoire, it isn’t particularly surprising that Sagoe has lobbied for children to learn French.
GES investing in leadership
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has made a significant investment in developing leadership skills among teachers. Recently, the GES Teacher Education Division (TED) put together a three-day leadership training workshop for 160 attendees representing 20 different districts. The participants were district directors of education, frontline deputy directors, regional education office staff, and staff from the GES headquarters. In particular the workshop focused on equipping attendees in educational leadership, human resource management, financial management, effective supervision, strategic management, and public policy in education.
