In addition, learners would have the option of selecting one additional optional subject (Ghanaian Language, French, and Arabic). NaCCA wishes to state unequivocally that such information is not factual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It further dispelled claims that there are optional subjects for the CCP Curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to note that there are no optional subjects for the CCP Curriculum. With the Ghanaian Language subjects, schools are to choose any of the Ghanaian Languages based on the schools\u2019 capacity, and learners will be examined on these Ghanaian Languages at the BECE. This policy has not changed; therefore, suggestions that the CCP introduces optional subjects for the BECE are incorrect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NaCCA entreated parents, teachers, and learners to refer to official sources such as the Ministry of Education or its website and social media handles for accurate information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe encourage parents, teachers, learners, and the general public to refer to official sources such as the Ministry of Education, or our website and social media handles for accurate and timely information about the CCP and other educational policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Click here to read the statement by NaCCA<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/p>\n<p>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: <strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has dismissed claims that Junior High School (JHS) leavers will be examined on 8 compulsory subjects.
