NaCCA Commences The Implementation Of Standard Based Curriculum In Senior High Schools.
Standard Based Curriculum has replaced the objective based curriculum in the Ghana’s educational system.
The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has initiated a process to develop a Standard Based Curriculum in the second cycle institutions. This step is very important to completing the pre-tertiary education curriculum reforms which began in 2018.
Also, in response to the 2018 educational reforms proposed by the education sector plan 2018-2030, NaCCA developed and rolled out the Standard Based Curriculum for KG and primary schools and the common core programme for the Junior high schools in September 2019 and January 2021 respectively.
Moreover, the next stage is the development of the secondary education curriculum. As part part of the curriculum development process, NaCCA began a series of stakeholder dialogue in February 2022 on the development of Standard Based Curriculum for senior high schools.
The rationale behind the stakeholder engagement is to obtain the buy-in of all all stakeholders to ensure an all inclusive curriculum that will equip SHS graduates with 21st century skills to prepare them for tertiary education, employment and lifelong learning.
Furthermore, the stakeholders engaged so far include Association of Ghana Industries, Vice Chancellors Ghana and PRINCOF.
As a result, the dialogue brought to bear the stakeholders desire to see an all inclusive SHS curriculum which does not only focuses on developing competencies , entrepreneurial skills in learners , promote STEM education but also a curriculum that is flexible to meet the needs , interests and talents of all learners.
Not only that, but also, NaCCA aimed at developing secondary education curriculum that prioritises science, technology, engineering and mathematics as the basic building blocks of success in this era of technological advancement.
