For some three years now or so, teachers have had to recommit their every to PLC for a chosen specific day each week. The aim is to prepare teachers adequately to implement the new curriculum. It has been stressful and monotonous but it is compulsory and teachers are expected to take whatever been shared to them for implementation. Each day after PLC, I reflect deeply on the impact of this new curriculum to the future of our country.

In 2018, when Charlotte Osei and two other Deputy Commissioners were removed on flimsy excuses, every Ghanaian except NPP members was not only sad but worried about what such a precedent would mean for Ghana’s democracy. It was the first time a government had changed the commissioners at the EC. But for the restraint and emotional tact of the NDC, there would have been chaos in this country. The NPP was so happy that it had taken over a sensitive constitutional body such as the EC.

As I watched Ghanaians arrive from South Africa, I felt a mix of relief and disappointment. On one hand, I was grateful that these compatriots had been evacuated and spared from further humiliation and danger. No African should have to endure xenophobic attacks on another African soil, especially in a country that owes so much to the solidarity of the continent during its darkest years.
