ENGLISH LANGUAGE MUST BE TAUGHT IN OUR LOCAL LANGUAGE.

Former Education Minister Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman has disclosed that, during her time in office , she tried to improve the quality of education in the country, she then realised that, the only obstacle preventing the improvement of quality education was the use of English language.

Most schools children fail English language in schools, because most teachings are done in English language and not in the local languages and it makes it difficult for the children to understand it.

In my term of office in the Education sector , My objective was to focus on how to build quality Education to Ghanaian students.

She added that, there is a need to look at this problem, to help improve the performance in our schools.

Professor Jane Nana Agyeman added, that English language is the most common language use in the country , and teaching it should be simple for students, most children have to learn it well to help them in understanding other subjects in class .

Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang ended by suggesting that, children need to enjoy the learning process in schools, They should be taught in our local language instead.
