Ghana’s textbook brouhaha

Ghana needs to be innovative to strengthen and equip its educational system to meet the worlds ever-competitive trends. But the current turn of events leaves much to be desired especially from publishers of textbooks used as syllabus and guides to teach these students.
My beloved Ghana are we using education as a tool to unite our people or doing the opposite using offensive and derogative words to describe the tribes and cultures of a fellow Ghanaian? if so, unfortunately, we are sitting on a ticking time bomb waiting to explode in our faces.
It seems we have forgotten that Ghana and even Africa as a whole consist of different tribes and ethnic groups and we only derive strength from such diversity. We have also forgotten what such tribal and ethnic sentiments have done to other countries and those involved in such acts should bow their heads in shame.
The stakeholders in our education sector which is the Ministry of Education Ghana Education Service (GES), National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NACCA) and others need to rise it started with an English textbook now it has found its way into a history textbook who knows which other textbook they are targeting. the monitoring and evaluation of books before they get to the bookshops and libraries need to be strict.
As a country, we need to also strengthen the mutual respect we have for each other no one wants his or her tribe to be looked down on. Yes, the publishers might have rendered on apology but they have caused harm and have whip up peoples sentiments and people have even threatened to burn the controversial textbooks that have found their way to the stores this could have been avoided.
This matter needs to be dealt with right from its roots before it becomes a canker.
