According to the National Council, it has instituted a thorough evaluation and book assessment criteria that enable the production of appropriate textbooks to support quality education, hence all unapproved textbooks should be ignored.
“The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) encourages schools and parents to visit the institution’s website or call the following numbers for further inquiries: 0302909071 or 0543164818,” the management said.
In a related story, the Council for Curriculum (NaCCA) following concerns raised about the content of a History textbook published by Excellence Series Publication says it has not approved the material for sale on the market.
In a statement copied to AcademicWeek, the Council said its attention has been drawn to the content of the publication dubbed “History of Ghana for Basic Schools-Learners’ Book Four” making rounds on social media.
“The said publication from Excellence Series was taken through the standard protocols established under the approval process of the Council and therefore comes to us as a surprise,” the Curriculum Council said in the press statement.
The management of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) therefore has said that the material in question authored by Excellence Series Publication is not approved content material by NaCCA.
“The Council urged the general public to continue to bring to its notice, any suspicious material in the market that may be deemed to have been emanated from National Council for Curriculum and Assessment,” it noted in the release.
