President Mahama has stated that there is no policy to introduce Arabic or Chinese as compulsory subjects in all public schools in Ghana. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, he made this clarification during a citizens' engagement at the University of Business and Integrated Development Studies in the Upper West Region.
The President emphasized that the Cabinet, which he chairs, has not approved any such policy. He questioned the rationale for introducing Chinese, citing the country's ongoing struggles to provide enough teachers to effectively teach French.
President Mahama also clarified that the teaching of Arabic in some schools is not part of a new policy to introduce the language across all public schools. Instead, English-Arabic schools were established during the administration of former President Jerry John Rawlings to encourage Arabic language learning.
