Empowering Future Generations: Educationalist calls for priority on Ghana’s cultural heritage in Schools

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Linvoy Academy, Alhaji Muazu Issara Kunata, has called on schools and the public to prioritize teaching African history, particularly Ghana’s, cultural heritage to learners.

This appeal was made during the school’s cultural day celebration, marking Ghana Month, at the school’s premises in Pobiman, Greater Accra.

Alhaji Kunata emphasized the importance of children understanding their heritage, including the slave trade and its impact on Ghana.

He also stressed the need for learners to know about the country’s past leaders, such as Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and their contributions to Ghana’s development.

Paulina Abdulai, Director of Linvoy Academy, highlighted the significance of cultural heritage in shaping society.

She expressed hope that Ghana’s cultural legacy would continue to thrive and not be replaced by foreign influences.
