As part of our mandate, NaCCA has done a critical review and comparison of the Religious and Moral Education (RME) and the Our World and Our People. Our review of both curricula indicates similar sub-strands and focal areas, indicating similarities. The situation amounts to a repetition of knowledge between both curricula. Beyond this, we have received feedback from teachers expressing similar observations made by the Council.

It is hoped that this action will help enrich the Standard-Based Curriculum Ghana has adopted and enable learners understanding of the curriculum, since facilitators will now be able to focus on the individual strands as captured in the Religious and Moral Education.

Counting on your usual support.”
