\nUniversity of Science and Technology, University of Cape Coast, University of
\nEducation, Winneba, and University for Development Studies.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Prior

\nEducation Curriculum Framework (NTECF) were produced and approved by Cabinet. <\/p>\n

A
\nstatement issued by the University of Ghana said the B. Ed programme is the
\ncumulative work undertaken by Ghanaian educators. It noted that all basic
\nschool teachers would have to study and attain a B. Ed. degree aligned with the
\nNTECF and delivered by the 46 Colleges of Education in Ghana through their
\naffiliate public universities.<\/p>\n

According
\nto the statement, the affiliations have been selected carefully to ensure that
\neach College of Education receives relevant mentoring and maximum benefit from
\nthe relationship.<\/p>\n

It
\nadded that the curriculum had been developed to employ interactive, inclusive
\nand innovative teaching and learning techniques while introducing changes in
\nthe overall assessment of pre-service teachers. <\/p>\n

The
\nnew B. Ed. programme has three specialism \u2013 the B. Ed Early Grade Teacher
\nEducation, B. Ed Upper Primary Teacher Education and the B. Ed JHS Teacher
\nEducation programmes, with the latter having specialist subject areas. <\/p>\n

The
\nnew B. Ed curriculum is expected to improve learning outcomes and ensure
\nchildren are motivated to be life-long learners beyond their time in school.<\/p>\n

Orientation Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile,
\na two-day orientation workshop has been organised for communicators from the
\nfive participating public universities to explore ways to support the roadmap
\nfor the delivery of the B. Ed. programme and to address emerging communication
\nissues.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Among the facilitators were Robin Todd, Prof Jophus Anamuah-Mensah, Akwasi Addae-Boahene, Dr. Eric Ananga, Ms Dinah Adiko and Enock Gyan.<\/p>\n
