The National Commission for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has sent strong warning to all private and public preschools in Ghana, urging them to desist from using unapproved books.
This was revealed on Saturday, 6th of March, 2021, through a statement by NaCCA, signed by its Acting Director-General, John Mensah Anang. It says: “some schools (both private and public kindergarten, primary, Junior and Senior high) are using unapproved books”
“Additionally, some individuals and publishing companies are advertising unapproved booka across the country.”
NaCCA, therefore informed “all heads of pre-tertiary schools (both private and public), parents/guardians, publishers as well as the general public that it is illegal to use unapproved books (textbooks and supplementary readers) in pre-tertiary schools.”
The agency hinted that it would “soon embark on random visits to pre-tertiary schools”, adding that “any school found to be using unapproved books shall be brought to book”.
“Similarly, drastic measures shall be taken against the publishers of such books,” the statement further stated.
