The Deputy Education Minister, Rev Ntim Fordjour said the Ghana Education Service has adopted play-based education system as the way to train children at their early stages in school.
He explained that, GES has realized that, early childhood education is very vital that’s why GES has partnered Lively Minds, Liberty Creation, Right to Play and others to use playing to introduce formal education to Ghanaian children at their early stages in order to build their interest in learning.
The deputy minister added that, government is training about 48,000 teachers that would be handling kids in the kindergarten and nursery to help build children with such knowledge in their local languages (mother tongue).
Rev Ntim Fordjour made these comments soon after he contributed to a statement made by MP for Tamale North, Mr Suhuyini Sayibu Alhassan on how to design educational programs through playing for children in early childhood education.
