The long awaited government textbooks of the new curriculum for basic school (primary sector) has officially reached the various schools across the country.

Honestynewsgh.com has confirmed that the Ministry of Education has begun the distribution of the new curriculum textbooks to all basic schools across the county.

However not all the textbooks for all the subjects have been distributed. The management has only started distribution for only two (2) subjects (Creative Art and Science Textbooks) for the schools.

Honestynewsgh.com in an interview with some officers of GES was told that this ongoing distribution marks the first batch of textbooks that has been dispatched to the various schools.

The issue of text books became a subject of concern about three years ago when the school curriculum was changed without the accompanying books for teaching and learning.

At an inspection tour of the textbooks distribution at some Municipals and Districts in the Eastern Region, teachers expressed dissatisfaction for the sluggish act of the Government and the Education Ministry in the textbooks distribution.

From the teachers, the government and all other stakeholders involve should speed up the process to ensure that all the remaining textbooks for all the subjects are distributed nationwide to ease the stress teachers and learners go through during teaching and learning.
