GES Directs “Urgent” Withdrawal Primary 2 History Book

The Ghana Education Service has directed all Regional Directors of education to effect a withdrawal of history textbooks for primary 2 pupils in public schools.

In a 13th May 2022 letter, the GES directed that the withdrawals be carried out urgently.

“Some concerns have been raised with the Primary 2 History of Ghana textbook which is currently in use. This has led Management of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) to decide to withdraw, with immediate effect, the approval of the textbook titled: “History of Ghana Textbook for Primary 2” pending further investigations.

“You are therefore requested to disseminate this information to all primary schools. All Primary 2 teachers are to immediately cease using the above-mentioned textbook for history lessons.”

The letter was signed by the GES’ Director of Schools and Instructions Division, Mrs. Patty E. Assan.

This is not the first time the incompetent GES has sat down for poisonous textbooks that twist historical facts to be inflicted on young impressionable minds in Ghanaian schools. In 2021, a publisher called Badu Nkansah supplied textbooks on the history of Ghana that stereotyped the Ewe people as voodoo practitioners who use juju to harm people.

The poorly-written books of Badu Nkansah was also full of historical inaccuracies.
