Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basic education is conceptualised as a range of educational activities that help students meet their basic learning needs. It is a foundation for lifelong learning and human development.<\/p>\n

Though basic education can take place in formal, non-formal, and informal settings, in Ghana, basic education is formal and comprises pre-school, primary classes from 1-6, and Junior High School forms 1-3, which is compulsory.<\/p>\n

Some Current Challenges in Basic Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, basic education has suffered nearly eight years of neglect under the Akufo-Addo\/Bawumia NPP government, leading to a crisis characterised by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dilapidated structures and a huge infrastructural deficit that has increased the number of schools under trees to over 5000;<\/li>\n
  2. Inadequate, and in some cases, lack of textbooks after six years of the introduction of a new curriculum;<\/li>\n
  3. Acute furniture deficit, manifested in lack of furniture for over two million pupils in basic schools;<\/li>\n
  4. Irregular payment of capitation grants resulting in arrears equivalent to eight terms;<\/li>\n
  5. A poor nutrition diet due to the appallingly low allocations for school feeding and government\u2019s heavy indebtedness to caterers;<\/li>\n
  6. Inadequate and, in some cases, lack of teachers, especially in rural and underserved communities;<\/li>\n
  7. Erratic supply of lesson notebooks and other required supplies to teachers, compelling teachers to buy such supplies themselves, and<\/li>\n
  8. Inadequate and, in some cases, lack of sanitary facilities and non-payment of water and electricity bills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    John Dramani Mahama\u2019s Commitment and Proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The NDC remains committed to achieving the full objective of the Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) by prioritising investments in basic education to expand access and improve quality.<\/p>\n

    In furtherance of this, John Dramani Mahama has presented an elaborate and far-reaching plan to rescue and reset Ghana\u2019s neglected basic education.<\/p>\n

    Below are some highlights:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Introduce the \u2018Bright Beginnings Initiative\u2019 to revive and re-purpose early childhood education for the well-being of Ghanaian children and facilitate seamless integration into continuous schooling and lifelong learning;<\/li>\n
    2. Initiate a policy to integrate early childhood education into basic education, supported by appropriate infrastructure;<\/li>\n
    3. Establish a Department for Early Childhood Development under the Ministry of Education with a special mandate to promote early childhood education;<\/li>\n
    4. Initiate a National Edu-Care Programme (NEP) to establish early child learning facilities in workspaces to support working parents;<\/li>\n
    5. Review early childhood curricula to develop a national value-based curriculum that enhances the psychomotor skills of children and equips children with basic life skills;<\/li>\n
    6. Institutionalise and promote the use of first languages (L1) as the medium of teaching and learning in early years\u2019 education and care;<\/li>\n
    7. Invest in comprehensive professional development programmes for early childhood educators;<\/li>\n
    8. Introduce courses in tertiary institutions to train early childhood facilitators;<\/li>\n
    9. Institute the \u201cTeacher Dabr3\u201d Project to provide accommodation facilities for teachers within new school buildings;<\/li>\n
    10. Introduce a special allowance of 20 percent of basic salary for teachers who accept postings to rural and underserved communities;<\/li>\n
    11. Abolish the teacher licensure examination, scrap the NPP\u2019s mandatory national service for teacher trainee graduates, and restore the automatic employment of newly qualified teachers;<\/li>\n
    12. Launch a \u2018Furniture for All Initiative\u2019 to address the acute deficit at the basic level in partnership with the local carpentry and furniture industry;<\/li>\n
    13. Significantly improve the pupil-to-textbook ratio through the provision of curriculum-based textbooks;<\/li>\n
    14. Embark on an aggressive infrastructure drive to address the increasing phenomenon of schools under trees and rehabilitate dilapidated school buildings;<\/li>\n
    15. Initiate a \u2018SmartStart Curriculum\u2019 for greater integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), coding and Digital Literacy, and TVET into the basic education curricula;<\/li>\n
    16. Increase and ensure regular payment of capitation and feeding grants;<\/li>\n
    17. Promote digital literacy at the basic level by providing computer facilities installed with digitized learning materials and upgrade ICT laboratories and;<\/li>\n
    18. Promote solar energy as the primary energy source for school facilities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

      I conclude by sharing an initiative and a forum expected to impact positively on basic education in Ghana in the first 120 days of the coming John Dramani Mahama Presidency.<\/p>\n

      John Dramani Mahama will:<\/p>\n

      a) Convene a national consultative conference on EDUCATION to build consensus on needed improvements to the sector and;<\/p>\n

      b) Commence the distribution of free sanitary pads to female students in primary and secondary schools.<\/p>\n

      The above are but highlights of a synergistic and comprehensive plan to rescue and reset Ghana\u2019s educational system, which must necessarily begin with basic education as the foundation. John Dramani Mahama has a proven track record in the area of education and can be trusted to deliver on these promises.<\/p>\n
